"The Living Christ" Lesson Posted!

Check out the Monthly Themes and Lesson Plans post to see my first published lesson, "The Living Christ."

It outlines the first lesson of the year, in which the family sets a goal to memorize "The Living Christ" together, and discusses why this document can help us be closer to Christ and "always remember him"

I know The beginning of the year is over, but it really is never too late to start having FHE!

Beginning

The goal of this blog is to create and share Gospel-based lessons that use words of the prophets, scriptures, and activities that help our children learn to apply these gospel principles and life skills in their hearts and in their every day lives.  My main sources for topics are The Living Christ and The Family: A Proclamation to the World, which will both be memorized by each member of the family, and the Young Women Values, which are

Faith
Divine Nature
Individual Worth
Knowledge
Choice and Accountability
Good Works
Integrity
Virtue

The goal of each lesson is to help each family member develop a stronger testimony of Jesus Christ and learn how to better live his gospel, be qualified to keep His spirit with them, and be worthy to enter his temple. This will help our families be stronger, more service oriented, closer to one another, and closer to God.

Each week I will write and link one month's worth of lesson plans via Google Documents. All materials are free for the taking! Print them off, make your own, mix and match, use the resources and themes in whatever order you like.

Happy Home Evening!
