Guide to the Friend
Possible Ideas for Family Home Evening
Read “Waiting for Jesus” (pages 4–5) and set out your family’s nativity set. Or if you don’t have one, make your own manger with the instructions on page 6.
Perform the Christmas program on pages 10–11 with your family!
Use the Bringing Primary Home lesson and activity to learn more about this month’s Primary theme (pages 40–42).
Put together the Light of Christ advent calendar (page 24–25). You can use it as a family throughout the month to make your Christmas brighter.
Read “Warming Up to the Lindsays” (page 22–23) and talk about how you can serve others this Christmas. Then make the salsa on page 26 and share it with some friends.
