Life's Journey To Perfection: Family Home Evening on Priesthood Ordinances and Temple Work Bless My Family (June 2014 LDS Primary Topic)

I hope and pray that you can use these ideas as a guideline and adjust them to the needs of your own specific family. Our prophet President Monson says, "We cannot afford to neglect this heaven-inspired program. It can bring spiritual growth to each member of the family, helping him or her to withstand the temptations which are everywhere. The lessons learned in the home are those that last the longest." On Lds.org there are resources available in helping to make your Family Home Evenings successful, here is a link to that site on Family Home Evenings.

Family Home Evening Instruction:

Start family home evening by showing your family members as many sticks as their are members of your family. Explain that when families are sealed together by the power of the priesthood in the temples it is like the rope. Tie the rope around around all of the sticks. Explain that just like the rope binds the sticks together, same with the marriage sealing or sealing ordinance. The sealing ordiance binds family members together for all eternity.

Read and Discuss: "Priesthood Ordinances and Temple Work Bless My Family", BY JENNIFER MADDY.
