Come, Follow Me

This is where you find all the curated Come, Follow Me content. The week opens on a hub: the week's title and dates, six dots that fill in as you go, a Continue button, and six cards — The story, The people, Read, Play, Finish the Lesson, and Go deeper. Tap Continue to walk them in order, or tap any card to jump straight to the part you want. The order is a table of contents, not a lesson plan: there are more resources than can be studied each week, so play around and learn which help you gain the most in your studies.

What is on this screen

  • The week itself The hub shows which week you are on, the chapters being studied, and how far through the six steps you are. Go back or forward a week with the arrows, or tap This week to come back to today. This week's lesson ›
  • The story Step one. A brief summary of the week along with illustrated beats of how the week's story progresses. Great place to share Gospel art with your children or class. Illustrated story beats ›
  • The people Step two. A fun way to get to know the main people from this week's lesson. Learn what their name means and ask them pre-set questions to understand them and their story better. Meet the people ›
  • Read Step three. The week's chapters, ready to read with nothing to set up. Tap Take notes and the same chapter becomes a page of your own study of the week, where you can mark up verses and write notes under them. Studies are a heavy-duty tool with a lot of features - don't be overwhelmed, just use what you are comfortable with. Take notes on the week ›
  • Play Step four. The week's games — every game is built from the Come, Follow Me chapters for this week, allowing you and your family or class to learn while having fun. Play around the table ›
  • Finish the Lesson Step five. A simple quiz that adds oil to your lamp each time you get a question right until the lamp is full. This is a great activity to wrap up a lesson with. Finish the Lesson ›
  • Go deeper Step six, which is Study It Out. If you're looking to study a bit deeper, this is a menu of additional Come, Follow Me content including other curated third-party resources, hymns, conference talks, and church articles related to this week's chapters, and cultural, political, and historical context about this week's chapters. Each section is its own page. Study It Out ›
  • Printables Under More for this week. Printables is where you can find fun activities to print out and use in class or Family Home Evening lessons. Coloring pages, word searches, colored "stickers", and more. Printables ›
  • Insights Under More for this week. Insights is a forum where you can share your thoughts from this week and read other people's thoughts. Insights ›
  • Create Lesson Under More for this week. If you want to prepare a lesson in a slide-show-like format, this feature allows you to add anything from the app to a lesson and then present it in full screen mode or use as notes for yourself while teaching. Lessons ›

Good to know

  • Every step has Back and Next buttons at the bottom, and the dots at the top jump to any step. The Back button in the bar always returns you to the week's hub in one press.
  • Mark week complete is a tick you set and unset, not a button that does something.
  • A card shows a check once you have been through that part, so you can see at a glance what is left.
  • Marking a verse here usually earns a sticker for the sticker book.
