Our Church leaders have instructed members to set aside Monday night as “family home evening.” This is a time for families to study the gospel together and to do other activities that strengthen the family spiritually, create family memories, and increase unity and love.
Every Monday evening we set aside time to be as a family and call it Family Night. We have fun together as a family, eat good together and usually have an activity that we all enjoy. Our family gets together once a month with all of our families. Our son Nathan Osmond captured one of our family night activities when we were invited to The Living Planet Aquarium by our friend, Jana Rae Shaw.
We also have fun together right at home. The home is the most important place for gospel learning. No other organization can take the place of the family. Our Latter-day prophets have repeatedly called on parents to nurture their children with love and gospel teaching.
To help strengthen the family, they called on parents in the Church to gather their children once each week for a “Home Evening.” Families were to take time to pray and sing together, read the scriptures, teach the gospel to one another, and participate in other activities that would build family unity.
In 1970 President Joseph Fielding Smith joined with his counselors in the First Presidency to designate Monday night as the time for family home evening. Since that announcement, the Church has kept Monday evenings free from Church activities so families can have this time together.
Latter-day prophets continue to urge Church members to give highest priority to family home evening. They have promised that our dedication to this program will help protect our families against the evils of our time and will bring us abundant joy now and throughout the eternities. With our family, we also usually sing a few songs together and with the grand kids including our favorite, “Love At Home.” I enjoyed making this video; shooting it, editing it, and putting some of my music under it!

I enjoyed the video very much. Is that Nathan singing Beyond the Sea? It was nice to catch a glimpse of you too, Alan. Lookin’ good! What a fun way to spend a FHE! This place must’ve opened sometime during the 8 years I’ve been gone from Utah. Is it in Salt Lake or Utah county? Off to check the website….
Great video!
