Have the priesthood holder in your family hold up an open umbrella.  Gather the family under it.  Squeeze in tight so everyone fits under the umbrella.  Tell your family that the umbrella is like the priesthood.  When a worthy man holds it, his whole family is protected by that special gift from Heavenly Father.

Quick Quotes



Beforehand, teach “A Young Man Prepared” (CS, pp. 166–167) to the older boys and have them sing it to introduce a Sharing Time on honoring the priesthood. Also beforehand, ask four or five members of the ward/branch to share their experiences and feelings about the priesthood (see “Stations” in Teaching, No Greater Call, revised edition, p. 179): A returned missionary might share one experience he had on his mission in using the priesthood to bless others; an older priesthood leader might share his feelings about holding and honoring the priesthood; a sister might tell how she honors the priesthood bearer in her home, or has been served by one holding the priesthood; a member of the bishopric/branch presidency might share his feelings about serving in that calling; a priest might tell about his feelings in serving at the sacrament table or in baptizing someone. Divide the children into groups and have them move from station to station. Have the pianist play “A Young Man Prepared” as they move. When all are gathered together again, ask what they have learned. Emphasize that receiving the priesthood means receiving a call to serve. Sing “Called to Serve” (CS, pp. 174–175). (Taken from the October 2000 Sharing Time Suggestion)
