Come, Follow Me: Week of Jan 21 - 27

 We Have Found the Messiah 
is the theme for this week's study. 

I am LOVING that an art piece is included in each week's lesson! And this one is just breathtaking!!

I hope you are taking the time to show your family each picture and talk about it. It is so interesting to hear the way children view things and how the Spirit teaches them.
