Family Home Evening™ Quick Tips
Our Conference Family Home Evenings
Ensign, Apr.
2002, 65
We
have family home evening on a regular basis, but sometimes we struggle
in selecting lesson material best suited to our family. Our dilemma is
not too little material but too much. Sometimes my husband and I have
looked through the Family Home Evening Resource Book and have wondered
which topics to select and how to present them in an interesting way for
both our teenagers and Primary-age children.
To make family home evening a more meaningful experience,
we prayed and searched for a solution. One Sunday during a Sunday School
lesson, the idea came to me that we should teach our children more about
the First Presidency, the Quorum of the Twelve, and the General Authorities.
What better way to do this than by sharing their conference talks in family
home evening?
We have the Ensign conference issues from
1997 to present, and they are also available on the Church’s official
Web site at www.lds.org
or on CD (item no. 50000, U.S. $3). We take turns giving the lessons—even
the younger children. Since the talks can be adapted for different age
levels, everyone in our family is involved and excited to participate.
The conference talks provide teachings for our day,
and the much-needed topics they address have greatly benefited our family.
As we have shared the Church leaders’ messages, our family has more
keenly felt the Spirit and the Savior’s love in our home.
