“And he commanded them that there should be no contention one with another, but that they should look forward with one eye, having one faith and one baptism, having their hearts knit together in unity and in love one towards another." Mosiah 18:21

Feb 1, 2011 RS Meeting: Family Night!


We had so much fun sharing tips on having a successful and meaningful Family Home Evening, no matter what circumstances we are living in. Thank you to everyone who shared their tips and those who participated.










Some quick tips:

Basics

What makes family home evening successful?

  • Start and end with prayer. This invites the Spirit, increases love, and teaches your family how to pray.
  • Learn from the scriptures and the words of latter-day prophets to help your family live the gospel.
  • Add music, such as hymns and Primary songs, to create an atmosphere of love, peace, and joy. Visit the music site →
  • Make it fun by playing games, acting out scripture stories, and making treats. Keep the atmosphere light and loving.
  • Be consistent. Monday nights are set aside by the Church for family home evening. If that doesn’t work, find a night that does.
  • Add variety. Help a neighbor in need, hold a lesson at the park, or go for a walk as a family.


We ended the evening with a craft, making FHE assignment blocks.


If you have some FHE tips you would like to share, please leave them as a comment :)
