Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
Fun surprise today: I finished up all the D&C (Doctrine and Covenants) Doctrinal Mastery worksheets for the 2018 Seminary year. What can I say? My husband was out of town and somehow this allows for unfettered time with my laptop 🙂 In case you’re new, formatting Scripture Mastery verses was the reason I started this […]
Here is something that I tried during a Group Family Home Evening with our Branch. It is in PDF format. – Mark S. This is a PDF of a slideshow that originally played the hymns. The clues are great. Thanks for sharing, Mark!
Next month the youth in our ward are participating in a missionary month. The Young Women and Young Men leaders have planned special lessons and activities to help familiarize them with missionary life. Many of these will take place on Sunday, others will replace weekly mutual activities. Some of these activities will naturally include our […]
About five years ago I put together this super simple Service advent for my family and posted it on my personal family blog. I still really like it. It is so simple and almost every single activity is inexpensive and quick. Because at the beginning of December I have lots of energy for extra festivities. But […]
I am totally in love with this game I just posted on Or So She Says: it’s a bunch of fabulous words pulled together into brackets so you can play together and countdown to the Best Word Ever. It was super fun to pull together. My husband printed off the pages last week and they’ve […]
My Mormonism runs deep in my bones: it is the faith of my fathers. My life’s work–my children–is bearing the fruit of this faith. Undeniably one of the more unique aspects of my religion is the doctrine of family. A child of divorced parents, a great-great-great-grandchild of polygamists and pioneers: my understanding of family has […]
This Sunday is the “faith is like a seed” Sharing Time. I think this lesson is one of the first object lessons out there! It’s a great way to connect a concrete process (growing a plant) to a more abstract, spiritual idea (faith). I’m going to be emphasizing how some things help seeds grow and […]
I’m going to be teaching the First Vision in sharing time on Sunday. I’ll be doing something different for my Junior Primary, but for Senior Primary I am using this storyboard from The Friend (you can find the original online in the March 2008 Friend). The twist is that I erased all the words that […]
Last year at the Pinewood Derby my friend Kristi showed up with this amazing folding table, kind of like the one you can see above. We set it up in the carpeted overflow area off the gym for the younger kids to play with during the derby. I think it is such a genius idea: […]
Every kid I know loves playing with wallets (my kids included!) so I’m super excited for this printable. I’ve designed a one page worksheet that can be folded into a wallet. I think it’s perfect for Senior Primary, but it could easily be used with older or younger kids. Great for Family Home Evening, too. Here […]
I’m looking forward to the campaign the church is putting together for Christmas this year: follow along with the hashtag #asaviorisborn. There’s a new video that drops on November 29th, and they’re hoping we’ll use the hashtag on social media–a lot like last year’s #sharethegift. The video and printables will all be found at christmas.mormon.org […]
My cousins wife (hey there, Emily!) posted the coolest Family Home Evening idea on Facebook a few weeks ago. They sat with their children and asked: 1. What do mom and dad do to show you we love you? 2. What would you like us to do more with you? Their children are young, so […]
