Darren Schmidt- Making FHE & Scriptures more meaningful

Scripture Study-

What are the similarities between tooth brushing & scripture study

How do you know when you're done brushing your teeth?  the tingly feeling
What would happen if we brush our teeth once a week?

Pres. Hinckley says that it will be painful at times.

Scripture Study-

  • A convenient and scheduled time
  • Get them there each with scriptures
  • Variety places, variety methods (pick story out of reader, come with a scripture that has touched you this week)
  • crowd control person
  • begin with a hymn
  • Study the Scriptures (Joshua 1:8)
Joshua 1:8

* Book of the Law shall not Depart out of thy mouth
*Thou Shalt Meditate thereon Day & Night
*That thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein.

Ask inspired questions...

  • Did Joseph do the right thing to ask God?
  • What do we learn from the Prophet Joseph Smith's experience?
  • Does Jesus Care about us?
  • When have you felt the Saviors love?

Family Home Evenings

  • Children "Anxiously Engaged"
  • Lots of Variety
  • Inspired Lessons and Invitations
  • Fun
