Weekly Family History Activities

A Come, Follow Me Companion

New Testament

Come, Follow Me is a resource offered by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is designed to be used in the home to support personal and family scripture study to build faith in Heavenly Father and His plan of salvation and in the Savior Jesus Christ and His Atonement. Come, Follow Me is self-contained and adequate, when used properly. Products and materials designed to supplement this resource, though they may be helpful in some instances, are not necessary for a successful home study program.

Welcome

We have created this family history companion to Come, Follow Me to provide related family history activities. These can enrich your home-centered gospel study, while aiding your family in reaping the benefits and blessings of incorporating more family history into your lives.

You can find family history activities for the current Come, Follow Me week in the Weekly Schedule below. You can also use the Schedule link at the top of the page. For an additional learning program about family history, visit the Study Center.

For additional family history activity ideas, see The Family History Guide activities for families, individuals, youth, and children, and the In-home and Online Activities on FamilySearch. You can also watch a brief video about the Companion here.

Using the Companion

Here are some suggestions for getting the most out of the Come, Follow Me Companion for family history:

Read the current week, but also skip around to other weeks. There are plenty of great ideas, talks, videos, and activities in each week's lesson. You may find just what you need for family history inspiration or enjoyment in another week.
Try the full articles and videos. There are plenty of links to Conference talks and other articles that you may enjoy reading in full, and there is a great assortment of videos that can "light your family history fire."
Share the Companion. You can send links for Companion content to family members or friends that include a week's lesson, or selected content that you enjoy. Feel free to do this through email, social media, etc. (We would ask that you not post Companion content to other websites without our permission.)
Personalize and customize. As you read content, seek for ways to apply it to your personal situation. When using any of the suggestions for activities, think about ways you might adapt them to best fit your personal or family circumstances.
Use additional resources. Remember to use the Activities section in The Family History Guide for additional fun, as well as the Study Center for extra learning.
