What about the Children? Will they be prepared? Who will prepare them....

The First Presidency has asked us to work with the 11-year-olds to help them prepare for Young Women and Young Men's programs.  Those turning 12 in the year 2020 will enter in January as 11-year-olds.  Will they be prepared?

In February of 2018, President Oaks and his wife,  under direction from the Prophet gave a great presentation at RootsTech that we are to start preparing them for Young Women's and Young Men's in this fantastic address:

Here is the video:  https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/media-library/video/2018-02-0100-connected-to-eternal-families?lang=eng&category=rootstech-doctrinal-videos

In September of 2019 - A wonderful article shows how to help them progress:

https://www.familysearch.org/blog/en/helping-11-year-olds/  

THIS WEEK:  

In the Church's article about Working a Family History Plan, you can see that the Primary is clearly included in Elder Renlund's directions of what each Ward family History Plan should contain:

https://www.familysearch.org/blog/en/ward-temple-and-family-history-plan/ 

"In his instruction, Elder Renlund gave examples of what a plan might address:

• Involving the ward’s 10- and 11-year-old children in temple and family history service.
• Encouraging children and youth to qualify for and use a limited-use recommend at the appropriate age.
• Involving every new convert in temple and family history service.
• Encouraging new converts to obtain and use a limited-use recommend.
• Helping ward members enter the first four generations of their family into the FamilySearch Family Tree.
• Helping specific individuals prepare for the temple (as assigned by the bishop).
• Encouraging temple attendance without establishing quotas or reporting systems. " ~ Family Search Article December 2019

 We have attached a sample Family History Annual Planner for your Wards.  Please make sure Each Ward receives this instruction.  The Handbook2 has outlined that the Presidency is to help the children prepare for Temple Service.

11.2.2.2

Ward Primary President and Her Counselors

Members of the ward Primary presidency fulfill the following responsibilities. The Primary president may assign her counselors to oversee some of these responsibilities.

They minister to all in Primary to help children, adults, and families make and keep sacred covenants.

They participate in the work of salvation. The president could ask one member of the presidency to look for opportunities for children and adults in Primary to participate in missionary work. She could ask the other presidency member to look for opportunities to participate in temple and family history work.

They minister to children. They learn the children’s names and become familiar with their talents, interests, and challenges. They look for ways to strengthen children individually and help them participate in Primary. They work with parents to help children with disabilities participate in Primary (see 11.8.6).

They help children prepare for baptism and confirmation and to honor their covenants.

They help girls and boys understand the blessings, work, and power of the priesthood. They also help boys prepare to be ordained to the office of deacon in the Aaronic Priesthood.

They help children prepare for temple service. They may coordinate with the ward temple and family history leader to help children prepare family history names for temple ordinances.

Under the direction of the bishopric, they plan and hold an annual Temple and Priesthood Preparation meeting.

What's new from Family Search?

These are just some updates and ideas that you may have

missed on Family Search - wanted to make sure you were in the loop.

Do you have a new Temple and Family History Leader?

We have some suggestions, certainly not directives, of how he could organize his Ward Family History if he were so moved by the Spirit after viewing them.

One is a Ward Family History Planner

This is merely a special excel book which has four sections (by quarter) per year.

Each section has a place for an auxiliary member to weigh in on what their family history

events are going to be that quarter.  There is a link for EQ President, Primary, Young Women/Young Men and Relief Society.  Each link they click on gives them ideas from Family Search that they can ponder and then list what they decided and the date.  

This is great because helps the Bishop keep a pulse on the ward so that when his quarterly report is due to the Stake, the  Stake President knows how many events are being planned and if the Community is involved, the High Councilor over Family HIstory may want to ask the Area Consultants to lend a hand in the event.

Link to a possible Ward Family History Plan for your ward and the Planner

Please download the planner before you personalize it for your ward.

We would like you to send us your email if you choose to download this.

Take me to your Leader!

Disclaimer: All of our ideas are just that, based on the teachings of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints but not paid for or commissioned to create on behalf of them. They are just inspired by the Lord through personal revelation. If you take one of our ideas and it springboards into something even more memorable, spectacular or noteworthy, we commend you on your own personal revelation with your heart attuned to the teachings of Jesus Christ for the betterment of others.

SPECIAL REPORT AREA CONFERENCE TAKEAWAYS JULY 18-20 2017

The images below are a facsimile of a Newsletter we just sent out.  You can find the links below the images of the Newsletter. 

 

 We were so touched by this lecture that we put it to music and added pictures. If you can't hear the music, ask us for a onedrive link

thx!

A fun thing we learned was to 

Find Relatives Around you!

Fun exercise - download Family Tree app to your phone.

Open app - look for "More"

Click on More button and look for

Find Relatives around me!

It will scan the room or building and let you know who you are related to!

You will love this! 

IF you are good at video games, you would like Life's Journey - see link below!  I had trouble with this because I don't have a real command over games with the up and down arrow but you would probably do fine!

another great game is called Relatives around me!   You can find it below at the WHAT'S NEW link!   We played it in a room of about 300 people I couldn't believe how many I was related to!  I wasn't raised LDS and thought I didn't have any LDS pioneer family.  That's another reason why you should do your family history - you NEVER know what you are going to find!
