Main Idea: Reverence is a special feeling of love and respect that should be reflected in actions, words, and attitudes.
Note to Parents: "Children are not born with the concepts which produce reverence, nor can these concepts be matured in them suddenly". But by and large, children in their early years and most of them in later years will be just about as reverent as they are trained to be, and no more.
Opening Song: Reverently, Quietly
Opening Prayer: Assign
Have you ever thought what it means to be reverent? Reverence is a special feeling of Respect and Love. It is a feeling close to our Heavenly Father. It is caring about others, showing respect for them and being courteous to them. When we love our Heavenly Father, our families, friends, leaders, and teachers, we will respect them. We show our special feeling of love and respect for others by REVERENCE. When we listen to our parents, teachers, and leaders and do what they want us to do because we respect and love them, we are being reverent, as Heavenly Father expects us to be.
Poem: REVERENCE - Have members of the family hold up the different letters as the poem is being recited either by a parent or an older child who can read and take part. Our chapel is a sacred place where we should be reverent and show respect to our Heavenly Father. A sacred place is a holy place, a place where Heavenly Father's spirit is to be felt.
Happy and Sad Chapels: Hold up the picture of a sad chapel and ask your children what this is a picture of. Tell them that :
This is a picture of a sad chapel.
The children in this chapel were very noisy
They didn't sign the songs well at all
Some children talked without raising their hands
A lot of the children came late
There was talking during the prayer
The children in this chapel didn't show love and respect for our Father in Heaven
Hold up the picture of the happy chapel and ask your children what this is a picture of. Tell them that:
This is a picture of a happy chapel
The children were quiet during their meetings
Everyone was reverent
All of the children sang their songs well
No one whispered to their neighbors
The children sat quietly in their chairs
The children folded their arms and closed their eyes during the prayer
They walked quietly in the halls
They showed their Heavenly Father how much they loved and respected Him through their reverent actions.
Which one of these chapels do we have? Let's all try to make our chapel a happy chapel.
Story: Children Like Animals
Activity: Using your happy and sad chapels. Place them on the floor. Have each member of the family draw a game card and act out what is on their card. When they are through, have the other members of the family guess what their behavior is. Have them decide if this behavior belongs in the Happy Chapel or the Sad Chapel and put their card on the right one.
Poem: I Love You Jesus
(Pick our 3 boys and 2 girls from the previous story to use for this poem)
"One of the most Christ-like qualities we ought to develop is reverence, an attitude that shows how we feel about Heavenly Father and the things He has asked us to do" Reverence is more than just being quiet. It is a spiritual communication between us and our Father in Heaven. When we are reverent, we don't do anything that reflects negatively upon the Lord or His Church.- Vaugh J. Featherstone
Reverence is a special feeling that helps us feel near to Heavenly Father and makes us want to show by our actions, words, and attitudes how much we love him.
Closing Song: Father, I will Reverent Be
Closing Prayer: Assign
Refreshments: Frosted animal cookies with ice cream.
