The activity I have chosen from the Faith in God book for tonight's Family Home Evening is to "Read and discuss the parable of the good Samaritan (see Luke 10:30-37). Plan and complete a service project that helps a family member or neighbor. After completing the project, discuss how it helped your faith grow stronger."
Welcome everyone to Family Night

Activity: Decide as a Family a service project that you could do for a family member or neighbor. Here are some ideas:
* Bake some sugar cookies and decorate them and take them to a family member or neighbor. Also give them a little note expressing love or appreciation for them.
* If it is winter- shovel snow. Summer and spring- help weed. Fall- help rake leaves
* For an elderly grandparent or neighbor. Help them with house cleaning or yard work. Then visit with them.
* If it is poor weather call an elder grandparent or neighbor and ask them if they would like you to pick up some groceries for them or run any errands.
* Make a grandparent coupon book. Inside are coupons that a grandparent can cash in to their grandchild for services.
