WHAT IS Family Home Evening?

WHAT IS FAMILY HOME EVENING??

Members of my church, The church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, have set aside one night a week to be devoted to spending time together as a family. Typically this is Monday night. This means that Monday nights are reserved for Family Time. As a family we spend time together having lessons, playing games, or doing activities. Each Family Home Evening usually starts and ends with a prayer. Many families sing a song, we are not the best singers but even we try to include a song some of the time. And the kids' favorite part of Family Night is a treat after the closing prayer.

This is a great time to interact as a family and actually talk to each other without TV, phones, gaming systems, music devices or any other technology toys interupting.

Baptism & Repentance/Washed Clean Supplies needed

Draw two simple figures of a boy and a girl on muslin fabric with permanent markers.

You need a container filled with water for the baptism demonstration and a really wet washcloth labeled "Repentance"

There are markers that quilters use for marking quilt lines that disappear with water.
They run about 3 to 4 dollars for one marker.
I use these markers as the marks disappear as soon as they are wet.
I have not tried washable markers so I am not sure if they need soap or scrubbing.
The marks from the markers represent "sins"

Make the "sins" appropriate to the age group you are teaching.
For small children it's simple things like hitting my brother, not sharing, lying to mom about the cookies I ate, ect.
As kids are older use things like cheating on a test, taking a candy from a store, taking a friends game/toy.
