FHE Idea

We have an amazing Relief Society secretary who does wonderful newsletters for us each month. I thought I'd share one of the ideas she had listed in the newsletter!

Since President Monson's birthday is on August 21, have your FHE be a birthday party for the prophet! Ideas include:

  • Begin by decorating with some streamers or other party decorations
  • Find some fun facts about the prophet to share during the lesson
  • sing "Follow the Prophet" or "We Thank Thee O God For a Prophet" (or both!)
  • Read Amos 3:7
  • Play a trivia game with the fun facts that you found
  • Make a birthday card for the prophet
  • Have a birthday cake for refreshments
  • Take a picture with your family around the birthday cake
  • Sing "You've Had A Birthday"
  • Send the picture inside the card you made to the prophet!

Isn't that a great idea?

Anything with cake is a great idea!

By the way, you should change your sidebar to include "mom" as one of your titles.

Michelle,

At our house we always have a party on President Monson's birthday -since J.D. has the same birth date. But I thought it might be fun to add a couple of those ideas to add a little extra spice to the today. Hope you have a great FHE!
