Service in Action

Fairly regularly we try to do a service FHE. Simple things that we have done include:

~~Make a care package for someone that is sick, lonely, or just needs a good dose of love. Include some of these things in the package and brainstorm for your own ideas.
  • An uplifting homemade card
  • A favorite treat
  • A poem
  • Fun pictures
  • Cartoons
  • A small present
  • A home crafted story
  • A small poster with a scripture written on it in pretty writing and decorated colorfully by a child. They can hang this in their home for a quick pick-me-up
  • A news article that might interest them
  • Music
~~Make homemade cookies together. Fix several foil covered paper plates and deliver anonymously to friends to brighten their day. (The kids love to doorbell ditch treats--it gets really interesting when the little ones want to try it too since their little legs don't go as fast. But, it is all in fun, so does it really matter if they get caught?)

~~Write letters to missionaries or people serving in the military.

~~Visit someone in the hospital.

~~Sings songs for folks at a nursing home.

~~Decide together what things your family can donate to needy people.

~~Cook a family a complete meal and take it to them.

Mosiah 2:17 is a great service scripture to share during this FHE. It also made a great little song, which you can get sheet music forhere and get an audio track to use here. (It is free.) I also included a youtube movie of my kids singing the song below. Hope you enjoy.
