Opening Song: Fathers #209
Opening Prayer: Child
Lesson:
Since Fathers day was this past weekend what a perfect time for a lesson on Fathers.
What is a father?
What did we just celebrate yesterday?
Why are Dads important?
What other fathers do we have in our lives?
Grandfathers
Heavenly Father
Father of our ward {Bishop}
We see lots of examples of fathers in the scriptures too.
{Lehi, Alma, Joseph, Abraham, Mormon}
How do these 'other Fathers' help us in our lives?
{Go into as much depth as you wish discussing the fathers in our lives}
Let's remember to celebrate our fathers all year round and not just on Fathers Day.
Activity:
Do this Fathers Day Questionaire
{and keep them and fill in a new one each year and see how the answers change }
Have small children draw a picture of them with Daddy.
Older kids can write down on a card/paper/journal things they love about their dad
Plan out some Daddy Daughter/Son Dates. Things they can go do with Just Daddy.
Give your grandfather or other 'fathers' in your life a phonecall or write a thank you to them telling them how much you are grateful for them in your life.
Watch this video about how awesome Dad's are.
Closing Song: The Dearest Names #208
Closing Prayer:
