FHE Night for the Holidays

If anyone needs a good FHE for the holidays heres a great new tradition to start. This will take a few weeks to do so plan. A great way to involve your kids in missionary work and service.
Supplies needed: lots of candy canes, a few of your favorite scriptures, decor scissors, hole punch, cardstock paper or scrapbook paper, glue sticks, ribbon, mailing boxes with padding & missionary addresses. You could probably do this in less days but are putting together about 200 candy canes.
#1 Spend a night finding having everyone find a couple of their favorite scriptures and then read them. Find scriptures that non-members could relate to.
#2 Moms/Dads will have to prepare during the week for the next FHE night. Type onto computer and print making in label size labels for each scripture found. Dont forget to put the scripture reference. Print on sheet of paper for the next FHE night.
#3 The second FHE night have Decor scissors and glue ready. Cut your label size scriptures and glue onto a heavier card stock or even scrapbook paper. Hole punch in corner
#4 Moms/Dads time to go get the candy canes.
#5 For the last FHE night attach the labels made to the candy canes using a ribbon or string. Then pack and send to the missionaries in the field.
This is another tool for them to use during the holidays. What a better way to leave a spiritual note to those who may not be ready to hear the Gospel. I look forward to sharing our favorite scriptures an pray it touches the hearts of those who are in need of spiritual guidance. The gospel is a wonderful gift.
