The Eleventh Article of Faith - CS p. 130

Materials:

• The Eleventh Article of Faith song lyrics printout
• 11th AoF picture prompt

Lesson Plan

1. Ask if anyone can recite the 11th Article of Faith
2. Break it down by phrase and give a simplified explanation along with actions
   (I'm going to ask if anyone knows what each phrase means before giving my simplified version)

• "We claim the privilege" 
• (simplified: We believe that we are allowed)
• [Action: hand on chest/over heart]
• "...of worshiping Almighty God" 
• (s: To remember and give thanks to God)
• [A: hand up toward heaven]
• "according to the dictates of our own conscience" 
• (s: The way we think and believe is right)
• [A: point to head/mind]
• "and allow all men" 
• (s: And we believe everyone else) 
• [A: hand out, move from left to right]
• "...the same privilege" 
• (s: Can also choose their own way) 
• [A: hand on chest/over heart]
• "let them worship how, where or what they may." 
• (s: To worship) 
• [A: hand up toward heaven]

     3.  Show AoF picture and briefly explain it and how it can help us remember
          what the 11th AoF is about

     4.  Bear testimony and gratitude for living in this country that lets us choose to
          worship how we want
