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.

For tonight's Family Home Evening the topic in which I have chosen is: Priesthood Ordinances and Temple Work Bless My Family

Introduce this weeks Topic:  Priesthood Ordinances and Temple Work Bless My Family

Scripture: Read and Mark: D&C 107:20

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. 

Discuss if any family member has an upcoming priesthood ordinance and how as a family you can help prepare that family member for that ordinance. (See printable below)

Invite family members to bear their testimonies on hastening the work.

Close with a Family Prayer.
