PIE Sunday
(Priesthood Interviews for Everyone)
On these Sundays, I will hold a priesthood interview with everyone individually. We will talk about personal prayers and scripture study, their goals, and resolve any concerns or questions they may have. This will also be when Amy and I hold our companionship inventory. After dinner, we will all enjoy a pie together.
MTC Sunday
(Missionary Training Center)
We have been counseled to make our homes little missionary training centers. On MTC day, we will study together one chapter from Preach My Gospel and one of the missionary lessons. Doing this will allow us to get through all 13 chapters of Preach My Gospel in one year, and go over each lesson four times. We will also try to memorize a new scripture each month.
CTR Sunday
(Current Temple Recommend)
These Sundays will serve as a focus on things we need to do to remain worthy to enter the temple, and will also help prepare each family member for sacred covenants made in the House of the Lord. When possible, we will visit the temple grounds on a Sunday together as a family.
FAN Sunday
(Fellowship a Neighbor)
This Sunday is an ideal time to do home and visiting teaching, although those assignments obviously won't be limited to this one Sunday only. Some ideas for this Sunday include: invite some over for dinner, visit someone in need, perform an act of service for someone, or plan a service activity for the following week.
SWM Sunday
(Sound of Worthy Music)
In the First Presidency message in front of the hymn book, they say fill our homes "with the sound of worthy music." These Sundays will give us an opportunity as a family to learn a new hymn or primary song together. We will also learn the history of the song and read the scriptures that go along with it.
The activities we do with these themes will change and vary as our children get older, but we are excited to use these ideas to help us focus on the Lord on the Sabbath Day and to do His will.
