Article of Faith #6

Simple actions for the Sixth Article of Faith:

We believe (hands over heart)

In the same organization (hands on one side of your body making two sides of an imaginary box)

(This is the way our church is organized.  Now have your hands travel back in time over your head to the other side of your body, again making two sides of an imaginary box.  This is the church when Jesus lived on the earth.  It's called the Primitive Church. Do you see how they look the same?)

that existed in the Primitive Church (imaginary box on the other side)

namely: (with your hand on the "Primitive Church side of your body, count on your fingers; there are five altogether) apostles, prophets, pastors (explain this is the same as bishops), teachers, evangelists (same as patriarchs)

and so forth (have a thumbs up sign with your opposite hand start at your open counting hand and travel to the modern day church side; thumbs up means we have those same things in our church today)

As an added bonus, look at your hands.  Five fingers plus one thumb equals six.  This will help you remember it is the sixth article of faith.

Article of Faith #5

Simple actions:

We believe (hands on heart) that a man must be

called of God (one arm reaches to heaven--just like "God" in AofF #1)

by prophecy (ASL for prophet: one who "sees")

and by the laying on of hands (put both hands on your head)

by those who are in authority (imagine those who lay their hands on your head when you are confirmed; they have priesthood authority; point to four different imaginary people in the circle, one per beat)

to preach the gospel and administer (use your fingers to make a pretend missionary nametag on your chest)

in the ordinances thereof (make an O with one hand - just like AofF#3 - and bounce it 4x to the beat)

Article of Faith #3

Actions while you sing the song:

We believe (hands on heart)

That through the atonement of Christ (ASL for Jesus: point to nail prints in hands)

All mankind may be saved (sweep your hands out wide, suggesting "all")

By obedience (ASL for obey: one hand on head, the other hand on heart, give them away)

To the laws (make the letter L with you fingers)

And ordinances (make the letter O with your other hand)

Of the gospel (gospel means good news, so place your hands on either side of your mouth as if you are shouting out the good news of the gospel)

Article of Faith #1

These are the actions we do while singing the song:

We believe (hands over heart, since we believe things in our hearts)

In God, the eternal Father (slowly raise your arm at a diagonal up to heaven, where God lives)

And in His Son, Jesus Christ (slowly raise your other arm up to heaven; your arms make a " y")

And in the Holy Ghost (arms move out and around, landing back to your heart; this is because the Holy Ghost can be everywhere, but you feel Him in your heart)
