Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
By Coleen Machiel Castro Coleen Machiel Castro: Just curious: I’m proposing my class have a little service project this Christmas. We usually have a gift exchange, but I am asking my kids to bring $5 to our get together. I will match their $5. We will purchase a gift for a girl and one for a boy and donate it to the Sleep Train Foster Kids program in our area….

By Jenny Smith Jenny Smith: Because I’m curious: How many days does your Seminary meet each year? I calendared for 144 (132 class days and 12 flex days — 4 flex days for March Madness plus 8 other days) last year. We usually loose 5-8 days for snow, though last year we lost 27, and so I think I only taught about 115 days, but the other two years it…

By Mercedes Stevens Higgins Mercedes Stevens Higgins: Stupid question, but how is scripture dig played? (1 hour ago) Jeanne Gilmore Merrell: I copied this from a comment on a post from last year: Here is the basic idea of a scripture dig.

By Sharon Lanier Rogerson Sharon Lanier Rogerson: Does anyone know where the terms Ward and Branch came from? My students were fascinated this morning by the explanation of the tent and why we call a group of wards a Stake and that it references the vs in Isaiah. They then wanted to know where the term ward and branch originated. I’ve researched, I will admit not too extensively, but I…

By Sally Avena Sally Avena: Today for #dandc60 for the section about testimonies, I made some “oobleck” (corn starch and water) to let them handle while we talked about the importance of sharing/using our testimonies. If you ‘use’ the oobleck it’s firm but if you just let it sit it gets all runny and slips through your fingers. Related that to our testimonies and had a great discussion. Good activity…

By Jenny Smith Jenny Smith: I wanted to mention something I found while preparing last week’s lesson: the stories in the student manual are often better or extended compared to the teacher manual. For example in #dandc45, the student manual has a great extended explanation of the parable of the #tenvirgins from SWK. It’s not present in the teacher manual. If you’re like me and wanting more background or explanation,…

By Rachel Murphy Rachel Murphy: Today’s lesson was #dandc60 and #dandc62. There was a lot to choose from but I felt impressed to focus on two specific scriptures from those sections about testimonies. DandC 60:2-3 and then DandC 62:3. 62:3 talks about our testimonies being recorded by angels in heaven. I had the students go into the gym and pick up a book in the circle and hold it. I…

By Cheryl Elliott Belnap Cheryl Elliott Belnap: I haven’t shared anything in a while- today’s lesson was pretty good. We were in D&C 57. We started out reading silently the first 3 verses and discovered that the temple is in the center place of Zion. Then I had them all go up individually and write one thing about the temple on the board and they couldn’t write what someone else…
