Family Council Operation

"…. THE GOOD HOME IS THE ROCK FOUNDATION, THE CORNERSTONE OF CIVILIZATION." Ezera Taft Benson
Picture
The routine operation of a weekly Family Council are outlined in the following tabs and links.  Our model uses a standard agenda.  The agenda has two parts the Family Maintenance and Life Mission tasks. A brief explanation is included to stimulate your thinking about your own family.

CAUTIONS: 1,You do not need to cover all topic at each council meeting. But they should be covered at least monthly.    2. Do not get hung up in Family Maintenance i.e. calendaring.  You will never get to the priority item in the Life Mission tasks of the family.
