Family Enrichment Group

We are excited to introduce a new group that will be available for participation, The Family Enrichment Group!  The purpose of the group will be to provide an avenue for us to assist and support one another in the craziness of raising children and strengthening our families.  The group will meet on a regular basis, in the later evening, around 8:30, with the hope that all the kiddos are tucked in bed and we can have great adult conversation.  The location and the topic of conversation will vary.  Sometimes there will be a book or article to read before hand for discussion, other times we may have a guest speaker.  Topics will range from dealing with tantrums to inviting the Spirit into our home to potty training to helping our children manage friend problems to having those hard talks with our children and many others in between.  It is our hope that as we come together we will be able to realize we aren't alone in our struggles as well as strengthen our resolve (as our dear President Hinckley said) "to try a little harder to be a little better."

Our first meeting will be in just a few weeks, and we are really looking forward to it.   We'll have an introduction to our group and discussing the book "Raising Up a Family to the Lord"  by Gene R. Cook.  As well as discuss future group topics.  (Please know that reading the book isn't a requirement for attendance.)
