Temple Tuesday for a Family or Household Devotion
Temple Tuesday: Peace Banners (August 25, 2020)
Gather your family/household and watch the Temple Tuesday video together.
Activity: Hunting for symbols or objects that help us feel peaceful or understand peace in a deeper way.
Explain the activity and invite everyone to look for pictures or items in the room, the home, or outside the home. Define the search parameters that work best for your context.
Give everyone three minutes to see what they can find. If the item is small and moveable, encourage them to bring it back with them. If the item is not moveable, return with a description of the item.
Sharing Time
After everyone who would like to share has finished, close with a short blessing:
Peaceable God,
We ask your Spirit to be with us as we seek peace for all of your creation. Strengthen us to be peacemakers. Encourage us
to live peacefully with others. Bless our home with peace. Amen.

Sharing Time
- What did you find? Where did you find it? In what way does it symbolize peace or help you to feel peaceful?
- When we talk about Jesus, the peaceful One, what could this mean? How does Jesus help you feel peaceful? In what ways does Jesus call us to live peacefully? How can you help bring peace into the world?
