FHE Monday: Nursery Lesson #8

I used one of the optional activities to start this lesson because it tied into lesson 7.

Lesson 8: Sunday Is a Day to Remember Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ

Opening Song: My Heavenly Father Loves Me

Review: Show the picture from last week and talk about the things that Heavenly Father had Jesus create. Explain that it took Jesus six days to make the world.

Read Genesis 2:2 – Emphasize that Jesus rested on the seventh day.

Activity: On six days of the week we work. Act out different types of work, such as sweeping, cleaning, digging, etc. On the seventh day we rest—this is Sunday, the Sabbath.

Lesson: On Sunday we go to church! March around (as though walking to church) and sing “Fun To Do”-- Going to church is fun to do, Fun to do, to do, to do! Going to church is fun to do, To do, to do, to do!

Sit down again. When we are at church, we learn about Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. (Show a picture of Father and Christ.) We want to remember them. Sing (probably a few times) the first line of “Reverently, Quietly”--Reverently, quietly, lovingly we think of thee. We want to be reverent so we can remember Jesus.

Stand up and “march home” (without singing, be brief). When we are home on Sunday, we still want to remember Heavenly Father and Jesus. Act out different types of activities, such as reading scriptures, praying, and showing love for each other (service). Sing “A Happy Family”--I love mother; she loves me. We love daddy, yes sirree; He loves us, and so you see, We are a happy family.

Conclusion: Sunday is a day to remember Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ at church and at home with our families. End with brief testimonies.

We didn't have FHE this last week because I had to do a three-hour glucose test and I was so tired that I forgot. (That test was no bueno... thank goodness I passed.) Being pregnant isn't helping me stay on top of things! But I can't wait for another little one to teach the Gospel to. I bet Gummy Bear will love teaching her!
