Alma 7:10-12

And behold, he shall be born of Mary, at Jerusalem which is the land of our forefathers, she being a virgin, a precious and chosen vessel, who shall be overshadowed and conceive by the power of the Holy Ghost, and bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God.

And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.

And he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities.

"S" For Service

Christ Reasoning with Peter, by Giotto di Bondone (Italian Painter from the late Middle Ages)

Song: I'm Trying to Be like Jesus (CS pg. 78-79)

Activity: Have some footprints making a path around the house to the picture of Christ washing His disciples feet. Have the picture covered so it will be a surprise. To get to the picture, a family member will have to say something related to service, whether it be a scripture, a way to serve or song they can think of on each footprint.

Scripture: John 13:4-15 (Story of Christ washing His disciples feet)
Emphasize verse 15 "For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you."

Activity: Further explore the concept of service by having a special desert. Everyone will work together to help out. Have strips of paper with things like "Please put on table cloth.", "Please put plates on the table.", "Please light the candle." etc. in a can and let each family member draw one strip to see what they can do. This is what our family is going to indulge in! I wonder who will pull the "Please put on whip cream."... Hopefully it's my 2 year old!!
