Family Home Evening - For the Strength of Youth: Family and A St. Patrick's Day Treat!

Tonight's Topic is:

"Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved

when founded upon

the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. 

Successful marriages and families are established and maintained

on principles of

FAITH, PRAYER, REPENTANCE, FORGIVENESS,

RESPECT, LOVE, COMPASSION, WORK

and WHOLESOME RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES"

("The Family: Proclamation to the World").

Here's the Lesson:

For the Strengh of Youth Mormonad FHE Lesson: Family PDF

This Family Home Evening will show you the important

role of each family member . . . BY MAKING COOKIES!

Each ingredient is important when making cookies, and

without all of the ingredients, they just won't turn out the same.

Being a FAMILY is much the same.  It takes EVERYONE!

Each person brings different talents, abilities, and personalities

to help in building and strengthening their family.

It's important that we each do our part to make

OUR FAMILIES ETERNAL!

Turn cards over one at a time.  If you get two of the

same picture . . . It's a Match!
