We love getting dressed up for church at home on Sundays and partaking of the sacrament to renew our covenants with our Heavenly Father. In our church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we renew our baptismal and temple covenants each week by partaking of bread and water. You can read a great article about it here.
I am a convert to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was raised in the Methodist church. I remember learning as a young girl what it meant to make a covenant with God. It meant to make a promise with him that you would never break. I taught this to my children this week and yesterday in our Come Follow Me gospel study as we learned about making and keeping baptismal covenants.
When you look this cute in a mask, you have to take a picture!
I also gave both boys haircuts this weekend, a new quarantine skill for me! I have learned so many new skills over the past few months!
We also enjoyed our Hello Bible craft yesterday! These are such high quality craft projects and the boys really look forward to them each Sunday afternoon. Each box comes with two crafts (we do one a week) and a book to read with an easy to teach lesson to follow up with. It is such a wonderful Sunday afternoon activity to do together as a family. And you do not have to order an entire new box for each child. Hello Bible simple adds more materials for each child for about $4.90 per child, up to four children.
This Sunday - and last Sunday - we learned about Jospeh in the Book of Genesis. We had so much fun yesterday retelling the story on scrolls with stickers! My seven year old likes to do everything in order and very neat. But my six year old is very whimsical and likes to put his sheep in the trees and his cows in the sky. There is a 16 month age difference between them. My seven year old will be eight in four months and my six year old just turned six three months ago. They are so much fun!
After we finished making our ancient scrolls, we colored Frozen Disney pages for cousins that live far away.
We are also really enjoying these Virtual Primary Singing Time videos on You Tube by the Primary Music Boss! They are updated each week and so entertaining! When we finished yesterday, the boys wanted to watch more. So they did! I am going to start using them during the week with our Come Follow Me lessons in the mornings to help us learn our primary songs.
Above is the one we watched yesterday!
I hope that you are enjoying your Sundays at home with your family! I miss attending regular church, but we are staying positive and making the most out of it! Visit my Church at Home Pinterest Board for more ideas on how to spend the Sabbath with your family.
