Goal: To Develop An Individual Relationship With God And Jesus Christ, And Share That Happiness In Service With Others .

We have found that through service we ourselves are perfected.  Each family member is encouraged to "Do a Good Turn" and to provide Christian service to friends and neighbors on a daily basis.  This is reported in the minutes not to boast but to help establish the habit of a life of service  to others and sharing Gospel of Jesus Christ​

For years, we have used the Church fellowshipping program as a guide to identify and follow our action and spiritual growth of our friends.  This ‘My List of Friend” helped to prompt, track and schedule events with friends. 
 
Frankly, with our large family and busy schedules, if the missionary and service items were not scheduled we would not extend ourselves outward in friendship and service as we should.  Using the Family Council we can "turn out" and invite friends to come and be part of our lives in Christ.   We do not have time to plan a lot of special events for others.  We can invite them to join us at a Church social or dance, a Church baseball or basketball activity and join the annual family caroling party.  We invite friends to come to Church when we speak or sing or to an annual fall block party.  The neighborhood fall social that began as a means to get to know our new neighborhood have become annual events as we move from place to place. Our friends look forward to it. The LDS website www.mormon.org now contains some additional supporting ideas.
