Pilot Test for Come, Follow Me: Living, Learning, and Teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ, for Primary

Thank you for participating in this pilot test of Come, Follow Me: Living, Learning, and Teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This resource is an effort to improve gospel learning and teaching at home and at church. We hope you will have a wonderful experience using these materials.

What Is Come, Follow Me?

Come, Follow Me is composed of five books:

• Come, Follow Me for individuals and families at home

• Come, Follow Me for Sunday School

• Come, Follow Me for Primary

• Come, Follow Me for Young Women and Relief Society

• Come, Follow Me for Aaronic and Melchizedek Priesthood quorums

Why This Test?

Under the direction of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, the Church is exploring ways to (1) better help your family live and learn the gospel at home and (2) help your experiences at church better support your gospel learning at home. Your participation and feedback as a Primary teacher or leader and as a Church member will be very valuable.

What Materials Should I Use for the Test?

As part of this test, you are invited to use the following Come, Follow Me resources:

1. Come, Follow Me for individuals and families at home. Each household in your ward or branch has received a copy of this book and has been encouraged to use it for gospel study at home (scripture study, family home evening, and so on). This book contains weekly study outlines that focus on specific chapters in the Book of Mormon and monthly study outlines that focus on single topics.

2. Come, Follow Me for Primary. This book contains lessons to be used in Primary classes (except nursery) as well as ideas for singing time and sharing time. Each week’s lesson and singing and sharing time ideas are based on the chapters in the Book of Mormon that children are studying at home that week in Come, Follow Me for individuals and families.

Together, these two books will help you as you teach your Primary class. They will also help Primary children to learn and live the gospel at home.

For the period of the test, these two books will replace all previous Primary manuals, including the Sharing Time Outline. (The nursery class will continue to use its current manual.) After the test is over, you can return to teaching from the previous manuals.

How Do I Share My Feedback?

At least weekly, please share your experiences, comments, and suggestions. You will remain completely anonymous, and you can comment as often as you would like. Thank you for your help. May the Lord bless you in your efforts to learn and teach the gospel of Jesus Christ.
