Family Home Evening Ideas

This issue contains articles and activities that could be used for family home evening. The following are two examples.

“Like the Widow of Zarephath: The Miracle of Fast Offerings”: Consider reading this article together as a family and then studying the story of the widow of Zarephath in 1 Kings 17. You could then answer the following questions: How does fasting bless us individually and as a family? Who might our fast offerings bless? What blessings might we see in our home by giving a more generous fast offering? You could discuss the possibility of giving a more generous fast offering or other ways you could help the poor and needy as a family.

“Captain Moroni’s Flag”: You can read about Captain Moroni in this article together as a family. Then you could read Alma 46:11–14 and talk about what motivated Captain Moroni to defend his people—“our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children.” Those same things are still important and are still under attack today. Consider creating your own family “title of liberty” and discussing ways to defend the things that mean the most to you.
