Come Celebrate the Family with us!
- The celebration will be held for two weeks,September 9th – September 23rd. Each of us hosting will concentrate on something different: Jocelyn’s focus will be on teaching the proclamation to younger children, my focus will be teaching the proclamation to teenagers as well as personal study tips for adults, Jaime will focus on applying the principles of the proclamation to our families and Montserrat’s focus is on the effect of the Proclamation to the world – tackling the major issues facing families today.
- We’ve got guest bloggers with varying backgrounds and experiences ready to share their views, crafts, or activities – all about the family. There are generous folks who also love their families and are contributing to the celebration by offering some terrific giveaway prizes!
- And for this celebration to truly be a success we need your help too.

Start with your own families
What do you love about them? What has parenthood been like? What are the joys and sorrows you’ve experienced? Begin writing posts about your family – any aspect of it – and set them to publish during the celebration, September 9th – September 23rd. If you need ideas for topics just read The Family Proclamation. Trust me – you won’t run out once you get started.

I never ever forward emails to my friends and family but this is something worth talking about. I am so excited about this event. I sent an email to all of my friends and family to check this out and I hope they take me up on it because I am sure it is going to be great. Thanks for all you do Shannon, we really appreciate you and all of your hard work.
I’m so excited! I’m hoping to participate; the Proclamation is such an important message. I’m sure I will learn way more than I contribute!
This will be awesome!
