I am glad I came to church today

I’m glad I came to church today (clasp hands and make steeple of church by putting tips of forefingers together).
I learn to listen (cup hand around ear)
And to pray (fold arms and bow head).
I learn of Jesus up above (point up);
I think of Jesus and his love (hug self).

We also show Heavenly Father and Jesus that we love them by being neat 
and clean when we come to church. We should clean our faces and hair and
 wear our best clothes.

Good things to do on the sabbath

we should not spend money or shop on the Sabbath. We should not go to sporting or entertainment activities on the Sabbath. We should not work in our yards or gardens or go fishing or hunting on the Sabbath.

We can play quiet games with family members, have scripture stories read to us, make family albums, visit relatives or those who are sick, draw pictures of things for which we are thankful, go on a walk with a member of the family, pray, sing songs, and listen to good music.
