FHE Monday: The First Vision ( 8-11 yr old children)





*This FHE meets the requirements for the faith in god and duty to god requirements! So let them do it!!*

*********************************************************************************

THE FIRST VISION~ Family Home Evening given by 8-11 year old ~

Opening Prayer:

Opening Song: Joseph Smith’s First Prayer page 26 in Hymnal ~ LINK TO HYMN ON LDS.ORG

Lesson:

From   FAITH IN GOD REQUIREMENTS ON LDS.ORG  it states that the child is to read verses 1-20 of Joseph Smith History to the family then tell the family how they feel when they pray and how Heavenly Father answers their prayers.

They might enjoy using some of the resources here from : LDS CHIURCH HISTORY SITES NEW YORK



Another great resource is available through the LIVING SCRIPTURES STREAMING LIBRARY
They have lots of great choices, but the one I think would be fun for the kids to choose resources from
is "FHE on DVD~ The First Vision"



It's so adorable and gives the kids lots of different ideas that they can use to prepare their FHE on
The First Vision!

With LIVING SCRIPTURES STREAMING LIBRARY ~ you get so many incredible DVD's, audio, activities, coloring pages, just so many great things and it's cheap! ( I love cheap!!!! )

When you use my link, you get your first month FREE ( how's that for cheap ?? ) and then its only $10 bucks a month. To learn more you can go to my blog post review of it LDS PARENTING PRESENTS: LIVING SCRIPTURES STREAMING LIBRARY REVIEW ~ trust me it's worth it!


Activity :  Primary Activity Days Blogspot has a cute FHE resource page for The First Vision with copies of coloring pages from The Friend for the activity and also has a good lesson outline if that is something your child would be interested in ! Heres a link :

I found this helpful. It came up when I searched it...in preparation for helping my Faith in God girls put together a FHE kit they can use themselves to complete that goal in their booklets. Thanks.
