Family Home Evening

Tonight, Monday evening, we had Family Home Evening. This is where our entire family gathers for some family time. Most important is that we spend time together. Sometimes we have an activity or a lesson. Tonight we discussed Patriarchal Blessings. The Mormon Church provides excellent online resources for families who wish to hold Family Home Evening in their home.

Here's some lesson topic ideas provided at our church website:

Appreciating Music Compile Family History Fasting Forgiving Others Gaining a Testimony Gratitude Honesty Keeping the Sabbath Day Holy Life and Teachings of Christ Managing Family Resources Morality Plan of Salvation Prayer

Preparing for Baptism, Priesthood ordination, or Marriage Preparing for the Temple Reading the Scriptures Repentance Reverence and Respect Sacrament Sharing Household Work Sharing the Gospel Solving Family Problems Tithing Understanding Death Word of Wisdom
