Ideas for Family Scripture Study and Home Evening

Song:

“Lift Up Your Voice and Sing,” Children’s Songbook, 252

Prayer:

Thought/Scripture:

Doctrine and Covenants 23:6.

Why does the Lord want us to pray “in [our] family, and among [our] friends, and in all places”?

What does the song “Love Is Spoken Here” (Children’s Songbook, 190–91)—or another song about prayer—teach us about the power of prayer?

See also 2 Nephi 32:8–9; 3 Nephi 18:18–23.

Lesson:

Doctrine and Covenants 24:8.

Would it be helpful for your family to talk about what it means to “be patient in afflictions”?

If you have young children, it might be fun to re-create the experiment that President Dieter F. Uchtdorf described in “Continue in Patience” (Ensign or Liahona, May 2010, 56; see also the video on ChurchofJesusChrist.org).

What does Doctrine and Covenants 24:8 teach us about patience? How does the Lord help us be patient in our afflictions?

OREO BALLS RECIPE

INGREDIENTS
  • 36 OREO cookies (1 package)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 8 ounces baking chocolate (I prefer melting wafers)

OPTIONAL TOPPINGS: OREO CRUMBS, NUTS, SPRINKLES, DRIZZLED MELTED CHOCOLATE

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then crush the oreos (with filling) in a blender or food processor.
  • Mix together the oreo crumbs and cream cheese with a hand mixer. If it isn’t coming together, get your hands in there and mix it up.
  • Use a small cookie scoop to scoop out the dough. Then roll into a ball with your hands and place onto the pan.
  • Freeze for 10-15 minutes or until slightly firm. You don’t want them too cold.
  • Melt the chocolate and stir until smooth. Then use a fork to dip the oreo balls into the chocolate. Tap on the edge of the bowl to get the smooth finish. Use a toothpick to help slide the ball onto the pan. Allow to harden.
  • Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
