The past few lessons have been epistles from Paul to all of the saints. This week we are reading in 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus, and Philemon and get to study the words of Paul to individuals who were leaders of the church. Read the introductory paragraph on page 166 in the manual to expound on this.
Begin the lesson by talking about who the leader of your ward is. We have provided a fun charades game to play to learn more about the roles of the Bishop. The kids can also do the Bishop coloring page and draw in the face to look like their Bishop.
As a family read 1 Timothy 4:10-16. Use the example scramble to help teach the importance of being a good example. 
We recommend listening to the audio of 2 Timothy chapter 3 on the Gospel Library app. Discuss as a family what you learn from these scriptures. Use the Halloween bag and treats activity to talk about the wickness that Paul prophesied about and how we can “be an example of the believers.” Put the candy in the corresponding bag. Be sure to follow the directions on how to glue and cut the bags so the candy can go inside.

The Lord loved His people, the children of Israel. We read in Ruth that His love wasn’t just for the nation as a whole, but for each person individually who kept their covenants. Ruth is an example of a convert to the faith who trusted in the Lord to keep her and her mother-in-law safe during a famine. Ruth’s loyalty to God helped her see His blessings in her life and trust that even in an uncertain world, good things would come.
What does the perfect parent look like? Is it someone who never yells? Who is always present with their children? Maybe it’s someone who cooks food that the kids never complain about. The Book of Judges teaches us that even with specific rules and expectations, the children of Israel had a habit of returning to sin and idolatry time and time again. Even after they sinned or complained yet again, the Lord always invited them to start new and return to Him.
Most of the Israelites heading into the Promised Land had been born in the wilderness. Few remembered the treacherous journey across the bottom of the Red Sea, yet all would experience the miracle again as they crossed the Jordan River on dry ground. This time, however, it was not a crowd of fleeing former slaves who worshipped golden calves. It was the camp of Israel, a covenant-making people who had proven their faithfulness to the Lord.
