Family Home Evening Ideas



A few weeks ago, Cori Larsen gave a wonderful lesson in Relief Society about strengthening families.  We briefly discussed how Family Home Evening plays an important role in bringing families together.  Due to time constraints, our discussion was cut short; however, Cori has provided some resources that will help you with your own family home evenings.  If you have any other suggestions to share, please contact me or leave a comment and I will post them here.

Super Saturday Classes


Here is some more information on the awesome classes we have planned for the Super Saturday.

10 a.m. - Primary Room
Presents, favors, and decor... in a jar!
with Becky Wickstrom
FREE class



Get inspired to spice up your gifting this holiday season.  Find ideas for everyone on your list -- from kids to neighbors to your best friend.  You will learn how to package clever, practical and inexpensive gifts in jars so lovely that your recipients won't want to open the contents!  Enter to win several of the display jars and come hungry to sample delicious party favors.  This class will include demonstrations, tastings and a game plan with recipes and contents lists, so you can create your very own gifts in jars.


11 a.m. - YM/YW Room
Knitting Dish Towels
with Charmaine Roper
FREE, but bring your own materials (see below)


Looking to make a handmade Christmas gift?  Get back to the basics and knit a dish towel to give to a friend...or to keep for yourself!  Beginners will learn basic knitting theory via hands-on practice and instruction from Charmaine.  Seasoned knitters can knit their own dish towels, help mentor the newbies or bring their own knitting from home to finish.  The class is free, but you will need to bring your own materials: size 6 or 7 knitting needles and a skein of cotton yarn - preferably Peaches & Creme or Lyon brands (can be purchased at Walmart for less than $5.00).   There will be extra yarn there, but you may not like the colors so we suggest you bring your own.

1 p.m. - Relief Society Room
Caramel Making
with Ashley Gay
FREE class


Create a decadent surprise this holiday season with homemade caramel!  Ashley had a caramel apple business in Virginia for 2 years.  She will be sharing her expertise and teaching how to make caramel from scratch... for all your desserts from ice cream sundaes to caramel apples!  You will take home ideas that will impress your family when you make your own sweet treats.  Of course, there will be samples - and this is our dessert after lunch - so you won't want to miss it!
