What does Family Home evenings have to do with Visiting Teaching? When we visit our sisters, we know that all Church members been asked to hold Family Home Evenings each Monday night. To encourage this effort, you can print off some already prepared Family Home Evenings and share them with your sisters. Coming up with new ideas for FHE isn't always easy, and your sisters will be delighted that you have given them ideas too. I have a resource for you. Go to http://www.ldsliving.com/ldsmagazine.asp
and they have a lesson ready to print out for free I believe each week. Another place for good ideas is http://lds.about.com/od/familynight/Family_Home_Evening.htm A fun site ( blog) that has all kinds of flannel board stories that have printable pictures is
http://chocolateonmycranium.blogspot.com/2007/11/flannel-board-stories.html For 100+ FHE ideas go to http://www.jennysmith.net/fhe/100-fhe-ideas.php and for FHE ideas in a jar, which looks like a fun thing to do or something you could make up for your sisters as a little gift and present it to them on a visit, go to http://www.mormonshare.com/images/media/fhe-in-a-jar.doc This Jennysmith site has allot of really great ideas and there are more if you just look around once you get to her site. Another LDS Family site that includes Family Home Evening ideas is http://www.bellaonline.com/site/LDSFamilies You will need to look under "Subjects" scrolling down to find "Family home evening", and then click that. There are allot of other Internet resources that you can look up but I will include a few more..... http://theideadoor.com/FHE.html,http://jas.familyfun.go.com/guestsubmit?action=display&topic_id=10 ,http://www.bellaonline.com/subjects/2013.asp, Gospel Art Picture Kits with the story of the picture found on the back side of them is located at http://www.lds.org/hf/art/0,16812,4218-1,00.html and of course the LDS website (lds.org) you can find a FHE planner at http://www.lds.org/hf/fhe/planner/0,16809,4234-1,00.html and you can find lesson topics on the LDS site at http://www.lds.org/hf/display/0,16783,4225-1,00.html.
