Share Your Light
In a darkened room, light one of the candles with the match or lighter and explain that this candle can represent anyone. Use the lit candle to the light the other candle(s) and explain that when we share our testimonies of the Gospel (the Love of God, or the Light of Christ), our light does not diminish, but rather both candles glow brightly.

Let them know they will be unable to participate in the lesson, but they can listen. Only when you remove…

Sharing the gospel is a “piece of cake”
The teacher sits in front of the class devouring a piece of delicious chocolate cake, while verbalizing how delicious it is; how moist; how chocolatey; how delectable. The class watches and becomes a bit jealous. The teacher asks, “Oh, did you guys want some of this cake?” the class of course says “yes”. Compare that with the gospel. The gospel is a delicious chocolate cake that we often keep to…
