Family Fun Nights (or FHE) eBooks

 FHE Downloads by The Homemaking Cottage

"I wonder if having unplanned and infrequent family home evenings will be enough to fortify ourselves and our children with sufficient moral strength to meet the complexities of our day. Infrequent family scripture study may be inadequate to arm ourselves and our children with the virtue necessary to withstand the moral decay of the environment in which we live.

Where in the world will we learn chastity, integrity, honesty, and basic human decency if not at home? These values will, of course, be reinforced at church, but teaching them in family home evening can be particularly consistent and effective. To combat the world's evil influences, we need the strength that comes from family home evening. . . .
"If we go forward with our family home evenings, our homes will be enriched, our wards and branches will grow and prosper, our lives will be purified, and the gates of hell will not prevail against us."

-Elder James E Faust

 

Family Fun Night (AKA: Family Home Evening) is something we have been counseled to have once a week.  We have been promised blessings and a stronger family for doing this.  Many times it can be overwhelming to come up with and plan a Family Night every single week!  This is where we step in! 

These lessons include, a lesson, song ideas, activity, and visual aides for many of them.  They will come ready to cut and color or ready to cut and use,  with very little other prep work.  Your children will be able to start helping with Family Nights now too!  These lessons are tailored to children of all ages.  To download these you need Adobe Reader.  Go to www.adobe.com to download this for free.
