Preparing Our Youth

As parents, there is much we can do to prepare our youth for Sundays with the new teaching format. Each month, we will post what their monthly theme will be. This will give parents of youth a reminder as to what their youth will be learning and give us several opportunities to contribute to their learning and testimony. 

The Youth Sunday School and YM/YW Theme for the month of February is "The Plan of Salvation."

Some ideas to help our youth would be:

1. Base Family Home Evenings on the Monthly Theme and encourage youth to pass on what they have learned in FHE on Sundays.

2. Center family Scripture Study around the monthly themes.

3. Encourage Youth to study the things their teachers have given them during their personal scripture study.

4. Basic conversation. Find out if your youth have any questions or curiosities in these areas. It's a great opportunity to connect and talk about these things in an unstructured way. Think car rides...dinner table...late night talks.

You can click on any of the following links to see what they will be learning this month.

These are great ideas even if you don't have teenagers yet...basing FHE and study around these monthly themes would still be a fun idea for families with young children, empty nesters, couples, or personal study.

We hope that these ideas help and will aid in the building of our Youth's testimonies...and bring us all closer together as families.

May God bless you for your valiant efforts as daughters of God...and may you understand your importance in the Lords plan.
