Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
Downloaded from: http://seminarymoments.blogspot.com/2013/09/class-mascot.html So this little fellow will be used in class this year. When I want to call on someone to read, I will toss it to them. They in turn will toss it to another person to read. We can use it in Scripture Mastery and games along the way. The ideas are endless! The choosing of a name proved harder than I thought. Only one rule: had to…

Downloaded from: http://seminarymoments.blogspot.com/2013/09/how-to-make-liahona.html My son took the challenge! He heard me wondering out loud how I might be able to make a Liahona. While I was at work, he found plenty of supplies around the house. He spent a week putting it all together, surprising me with in time for our seminary kick off meeting! I am thrilled with the results! A teapot that was given to us that we…

Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/09/19/1-nephi-11-14-the-lamb-of-god-and-the-giving-tree/ Today’s lesson was a continuation of the previous one, “1 Nephi 10-11, God’s Lamb is Given“. In that lesson the students seemed to really be interested in the SNellFour-Sacrificial Lamb-Savior principle, so I decided to continue with that pattern in today’s lesson while supplementing it with a lot of the other information that is found in […]
Downloaded from: http://seminaryatsixam.blogspot.com/2013/09/teacher-to-teacher-question.html Someone asked me for my “Seminary Casserole” recipe, which reminded me of a question I would like to ask other teachers. This mostly applies to the early morning teachers, but I would like to hear any input out there.How often to you serve food in Seminary-not the object lesson type food, but a treat or breakfast-y food?What types of food do you serve?Do the parents help?Do the…

Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/09/19/1-nephi-10-11-gods-lamb-is-given/ In this lesson I introduced my sheep named SNellFour (CLICK HERE TO LEARN ABOUT SNellFour–2 Ne 11:4). I have 6 different sheep at the front of my classroom as part of my decor. They are each called SNellFour. My friend and colleague, Brother Todd Davis, introduced me to this concept over 10 years ago and I have […]
Downloaded from: http://seminaryatsixam.blogspot.com/2013/09/frankly-forgive.html 1 Nephi 7The phrase that touches my heart in this chapter is “frankly forgive”After Nephi’s brothers and some of the sons and daughters of Ishmael tied him up in the wilderness with the intent to leave him for the wild beasts to devour, his faith enabled him to loosen the cords and be set free.His brothers were still hard hearted, but eventually, they bowed down to him…

Enjoy! Scripture Mastery was first introduced to the seminary program in 1963 as “scriptures to be memorized or […]
Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/09/17/1-nephi-8-gods-tree-is-great/ This is one of those lessons that I have a love-hate relationship with. I probably shouldn’t be this way, but there are certain scripture blocks where I just think, “How do I even begin to do justice to this set of scripture?” I feel like I am putting bumper sticker on a Ferrari–it’s just not […]

The Family: A Proclamation to the World was read by President Gordon B. Hinckley as part of his message at the General Relief Society Meeting held September 23, 1995.

Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/09/16/1-nephi-7-family-faith-forgiveness/ Because of pacing issues I was tempted to just summarize 1 Nephi 7 with story-line and move on to 1 Nephi 8 with the Tree of Life. But I had had a couple of other teachers (online friends) share their good experiences with 1 Nephi 7 and in an effort to fulfill the aim of […]
