Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
Impossibly, it snowed again Sunday night into Monday. The weather was so poor that the other teacher and I canceled Monday’s Seminary Sunday night, well before the school canceled. School was completely out on Monday and on two-hour delay Tuesday, so I only got to teach two lessons this week. We have missed an entire week of class this month due to snow days. It’s March — crazy! Unfortunately we…

I attended a great lesson on keeping the Sabbath Day holy, and afterwards asked the teacher for copy of her lesson. I am publishing here just the attention-getter she used. On the board, she put up signs with the names of 5 imaginary women, who represent how we may treat the Sabbath day. She described each of the women briefly, while asking us to think about our own activities on…

Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/03/27/spring-break-or-spring-keep-is-easter-your-hol-i-day-or-hol-y-day/ Today I helped my friend, Brother Day (Seminary Teacher’s Blog) with a couple classes. We discussed the importance of Easter and how to honor the Savior during the Easter Season. Unfortunately, many people use their vacation time around the Easter season in ways that dishonors the Living Christ. The term we use to describe that […]
Brigham Bucks is the Seminary incentive program used by Seminary Mom, but you can use them for Seminary, Primary reverence incentives, youth activities, and much more. Last year I used tickets for our March Madness auction, but this year I am using these bucks because tickets are just too expensive for my class of 16. I’m hoping to laminate and reuse these Brigham Bucks next year. The image of Brother…

This LDS dispensations handout is based on the super cool walkthrough at http://gospeldoctrineplus.blogspot.com/2010/01/as-memory-aid-for-chronol… . Sister Jensen’s image and idea make it easy to visualize the major gospel dispensations. I changed some of the dates and a few other typographical errors. I also added the definition of a dispensation from the Encyclopedia of Mormonism. What is a dispensation? “Dispensations” are … time periods in which the Lord placed on the earth…

ELDER NEAL A. MAXWELL: “As we confront our own lesser trials and tribulations, we too can plead with the Father, just as Jesus did, that we “might not … shrink”—meaning to retreat or […]
Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/03/25/scripture-march-madness-mastery-relevance-brackets/ “To help students treasure up eternal truths and to increase their confidence in the scriptures, S&I has selected a number of scripture mastery passages and prepared a list of Basic Doctrines. The study of the scripture mastery passages and these doctrines should be developed together so that students will learn to express these doctrines in their own words and use the scripture mastery passages to help them explain and testify of these truths.” (Gospel Teaching and Learning: A Handbook for Teachers and Leaders in Seminaries and Institutes of Religion, (2012), 10–37. Master Key Scripture Passages and Basic Doctrines [2.7]) This activity is a lot like the Verses VS Verses activity that I used for 2 Corinthians 3-6, but there are also some […]

If you prefer, the best I found…

What feelings come to you when you see it?Romans 1: 24 “God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own heart”God allows the wicked to seek after the desires of their hearts. He will always honor our freedom to choose BUT we know consequences will follow.After reading Romans 1: 21-31 we saw that Rome was not that different…

Yes, we really did read all these chapters in a single week. My kids rule. 1 Corinthians 15-16 I was super excited about this lesson because of the three scripture mastery passages in 1 Corinthians 15, but it snowed. In March. AGAIN. So we missed out on my lesson. I had planned to open with a discussion of the Law of Witnesses and how it relates to missionary work (establishes…

Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/03/22/2-corinthians-8-9-god-loveth-a-cheerful-giver/ What would happen if one student (or a group of four students) won a bunch of Tootsie Rolls and then tried to apply the principles taught by Paul in 2 Corinthians 8-9? Well, that is what we tried today, and the result was FANTASTIC! First we played a game to determine who would win the Tootsie […]
