The Bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution

Memorable Monday Moments
Patriotic Lessons

In 1987, when the United States celebrated the bicentennial of their constitution, I remember receiving a handout of Family Home Evening lessons dealing with that subject. Sometime in the past 20 years, I must have thrown that away, but it's still a good idea to study and review the importance of patriotism. So, here are some resources from the church magazines that might help with that.

The Constitution - A Glorious Standard and Our Divine Constitution by Ezra Taft Benson

God's Hand in the Founding of America by L. Tom Perry

A Standard of Freedom for this Dispensation (September 1987 Ensign)

Declaration of Dependence: Teaching Patriotism in the Home

Preamble Puzzle

Puzzlement: Signers of the Declaration of Independence

Have a 1776 Family Home Evening

Preparing Children for their Community Roles

And if it's been a while since you've read any of these documents, go here to find them online.
