What is a great treasure the Lord has given us?


Bicentennial Proclamation

Instructions: Below is “The Restoration of the Fulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ: A

Bicentennial Proclamation to the World.” Read it individually or together, highlight things that

stand out, and discuss them as a family.

We solemnly proclaim that God loves His

children in every nation of the world. God the

Father has given us the divine birth, the

incomparable life, and the infinite atoning

sacrifice of His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. By the

power of the Father, Jesus rose again and gained

the victory over death. He is our Savior, our

Exemplar, and our Redeemer.

Two hundred years ago, on a beautiful spring

morning in 1820, young Joseph Smith, seeking to

know which church to join, went into the woods

to pray near his home in upstate New York, USA.

He had questions regarding the salvation of his

soul and trusted that God would direct him.

In humility, we declare that in answer to his

prayer, God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ,

appeared to Joseph and inaugurated the

“restitution of all things” (Acts 3:21) as foretold

in the Bible. In this vision, he learned that

following the death of the original Apostles,

Christ’s New Testament Church was lost from the

earth. Joseph would be instrumental in its return.

We affirm that under the direction of the Father

and the Son, heavenly messengers came to

instruct Joseph and re-establish the Church of

Jesus Christ. The resurrected John the Baptist

restored the authority to baptize by immersion for

the remission of sins. Three of the original twelve

Apostles—Peter, James, and John—restored the

apostleship and keys of priesthood authority.

Others came as well, including Elijah, who

restored the authority to join families together

forever in eternal relationships that transcend

death.

We further witness that Joseph Smith was given

the gift and power of God to translate an ancient

record: the Book of Mormon—Another

Testament of Jesus Christ. Pages of this sacred

text include an account of the personal ministry

of Jesus Christ among people in the Western

Hemisphere soon after His Resurrection. It

teaches of life’s purpose and explains the doctrine

of Christ, which is central to that purpose. As a

companion scripture to the Bible, the Book of

Mormon testifies that all human beings are sons

and daughters of a loving Father in Heaven, that

He has a divine plan for our lives, and that His

Son, Jesus Christ, speaks today as well as in days

of old.

We declare that The Church of Jesus Christ of

Latter-day Saints, organized on April 6, 1830, is

Christ’s New Testament Church restored. This

Church is anchored in the perfect life of its chief

cornerstone, Jesus Christ, and in His infinite

Atonement and literal Resurrection. Jesus Christ

has once again called Apostles and has given

them priesthood authority. He invites all of us to

come unto Him and His Church, to receive the

Holy Ghost, the ordinances of salvation, and to

gain enduring joy.

Two hundred years have now elapsed since this

Restoration was initiated by God the Father and

His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. Millions

throughout the world have embraced a knowledge

of these prophesied events.

We gladly declare that the promised Restoration

goes forward through continuing revelation. The

earth will never again be the same, as God will

“gather together in one all things in Christ”

(Ephesians 1:10).

With reverence and gratitude, we as His Apostles

invite all to know—as we do—that the heavens

are open. We affirm that God is making known

His will for His beloved sons and daughters. We

testify that those who prayerfully study the

message of the Restoration and act in faith will be

blessed to gain their own witness of its divinity

and of its purpose to prepare the world for the

promised Second Coming of our Lord and Savior,

Jesus Christ.

Thinking of Jesus During the Sacrament

(Ex. Pray, Look at a Hymn Book, etc.)

cross and slain for the sins

of the world.”

something. Decode the message below to learn what we promise to do.

How much should I pay?

In 3 Nephi, Jesus quotes Malachi. Malachi taught about the importance of tithing and the blessings that we

will receive when we pay our tithing. Malachi said, “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there

may be meat in my house; and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of Hosts, if I will not open you the

windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing that there shall not be room enough to receive it.”

Instructions: Tithing is 10% of our income. Below are several different amounts of money that we earned.

Circle the correct amount of coins to show how much tithing you would pay for that amount.

$1.00

$5.00

$10.00

$20.00

$3.00



What is Tithing used for?

Instructions: There are many ways that tithing is used to bless Christ’s Church. In the box below,

draw 4 things that tithing can be used for (Ex. building temples). If you would like to review how

tithing is used, search “How Church Donations are Used” on the Church website.



Who are my ancestors?

Instructions: In 3 Nephi, Malachi also teaches us the importance of our ancestors. Discuss with your

parents what ancestors are and either have your parents tell you a story about one or your ancestors

or search together for a story about one of your ancestors. Draw a picture of them below. An oval is

provided to get you started. If you have an actual picture of them, you can use that or you can

imagine what they looked like. Also, the next page has a pedigree chart if you would like to fill one

out as a family. Reference 3 Nephi 25:6.

gospel and what it means to be a member of His Church. Find the words below to learn some of

Draw a picture of what brought the Nephites happiness. Reference 4 Nephi 1:2-3, 15-17



Keeping the Commandments Makes Us Happy

Instructions: In 4 Nephi, the people live in peace and happiness for almost 200 years because they kept

the commandments of God. Their peace ended when they stopped following the commandments. Put a

“X” under the smiley face if we are keeping a commandment and a “X” under the frowny face if we

are disobeying a commandment. Reference 4 Nephi 1:2-3, 15-17, 24-29, 34-35, & 43 if needed.

I chose to do service for my brother/sister

instead of fighting with them.
