Family Home Evening: Establishing a House of God

Recently I was inspired by a scripture.
Doctrine & Covenants 88:119
Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing; and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God;

As I was reading the scripture it occurred to me that you could read it is as the steps to obtaining a House of God.  Each step building on the one before it. Organize, prepare, pray, fast, this builds faith, Continue to learn, share what you know by living it, keep your life in order.  So I decided to do a series of Family Home Evening lessons on this scripture.

In preparation for the next few months of FHE I made this.

If you want this printable and can't snag it from above, try downloading from here.

I decided the breakdown of the lessons will be as follows
Organize yourselves; - Make a plan for behavior and cleaning the house
prepare every needful thing; - Emergency Preparedness
House of Prayer, - prayer
House of Fasting, -fasting
House of Faith, - faith
House of Learning, - learning, both secular and spiritual

I even made Topic cards to go on our family home evening chart
