A Mormon family enjoys a family night lesson.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, whose members are informally known as Mormons, has launched a new website designed to help strengthen families in these challenging times. It focuses on a program practiced by Mormons that can be easily adapted to families of any faith. This program, Family Home Evening or Family Night, brings the family together one night a week to learn and play as a family. It is generally a time just for families—no friends or guests are normally included.

It is set aside as a time dedicated to family life. Read more

The Mormon church helps us create the strongest families possible in Christ, and one of those ways is through Family Home Evening … FHE.
