Articles of Faith in Home Evening

Elizabeth Martinsen, “Articles of Faith in Home Evening,” Ensign, Aug. 1984, 70
We had long had a problem planning spiritual, enriching family home evenings for our young children, ages two, three, and five. Then my husband suggested basing our weekly lessons on the Articles of Faith. He drew a picture chart of the first article of faith and helped the children “read” it, going over it each evening before family prayers. Within a week they had it memorized, even the two-year-old. Then, each family home evening that month focused on the concepts in that article of faith. Each month we learn a new article of faith. This approach allows us to easily plan our home evenings a month in advance, and the children really enjoy memorizing the Articles of Faith and learning the principles of the gospel.Elizabeth Martinsen, Provo, Utah

What a great theme for our next 13 weeks of fhe!
