Family history and temple work bless all the generations of my family
CSMP-booklet 2009, Aug week 4 |
Share a story about a time when you were away from
your family. Discuss how it feels to be separated from your family. Allow a
few children to share similar stories.
- Ask one child to stand in the middle of the room. Have children stand on one
side of him or her to represent his parents, grand parents, and
great-grandparents. Have other children represent his or her posterity on the
other side.
- Ask the children if they know how this family could be together
forever.
Explain that because of priesthood authority, no one needs to be
separated from their families - our families can be together forever.
Explain
that the temple is the place where we can be sealed together.
Help younger
children complete a family tree (Primary 3, 196), and help older children work
on a pedigree chart.
Sing "Families Can Be Together Forever" (CS, 188),
and bear your testimony about family history and temple work
