Family Home Evening

mcm by mcm Young Parent(February 2007) (rank 3rd)
What is Family Home Evening?
This is what is encouraged by our Church to encourage one night (Monday night is designated as the start to the working week and also tends to be less busy) a week for the family to gather and spend time together.
It doesn't have to
be related to Church or gospel topics either. Even making time to chat about what eveyone is doing can be be beneficial. Also an activity or game depending on the age of the children, can be fun.
My girl is now at an age where she asks to organise Family Home Evening. in our house we have family prayer, songs, story telling and games followed of course by a treat or supper.
This is probably the most structured fun we have in our house. We are very spontaneous people but sometimes life goes too fast and to slow down for an hour or less just to get to know our family can do wonders for our realtionships. I feel more grateful for my family when we manage time together with no distraction.

Re: Family Home Evening

It's good to spend a night as a family and read together. Be it bible stories or any other reading material.

Re: Family Home Evening

great article  family is so important .

great to see that you all "get together" and as you say it can be anything .

life moves too fast today and doing this at least gets the family "together " because with s many different tangents in each members lives its easy to miss each other or glimpse each other as" passing ships in the night "

great advice

cheers annie

Great idea for family time
How wonderful that your daughter wants to be part of determining what happens for family night.

Developing skills
We used to have this in our home.  Every evening we would have family prayer and bible story time, but once a week we would do something special.  Often a talent show of some sort.  I can remember doing mimes in front of the front door with the sun streaming through it and everyone sitting in front of me trying to guess what I was miming.  Great memories. 

Years later my brother became a mime artist and clown.  So those evenings must have paid off!!
Peace
