Primary Program Talks

The Primary Program is at the end of this month and a couple of weeks ago the kids got their assignments. Our kids were all given the same assignment. They were assigned to collectively give a talk on why having Family Home Evening, Family Scripture Study, and Family Prayer was importent. Since Kenedy was at her Drivers Ed class on Monday night we decided to use the time to have the kids write their talks. We decided to break it up into the three topics and have each kid write a paragraph on their topic. At the Program they will get up and stand together at the Pulpit, each one will recite their section and then collectively say "in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen". We had each child write their own ideas as to why their given subject was important and then we helped flesh out ideas as needed. Honestly not  a lot of help was needed and my kids had some really amazing things to write. I was truly impressed! We are going to have them practice every night so that by the time the Program rolls around they have their parts memorized. Definitely a successful FHE!
