The Study of The Family: A Proclamation to the World 2015
Welcome to the 2015 focus on THE FAMILY: A PROCLAMATION TO THE WORLD!
2015 marks the 20-year
anniversary of The Family: A Proclamation to the World. In celebration,
members of the Kennewick Stake are invited to study and apply the teachings of
this inspired document. Each month, January through September, the Stake Relief
Society, Young Women and Primary leaders will be providing suggested ways to focus
on the proclamation, paragraph by paragraph, by offering study helps, Family
Home Evening lesson ideas, and a monthly memorization challenge!
Each month the focus will be
formatted to an 8.5 x 11 sheet for individuals to print and use as a reference
or keepsake. A culminating gathering for all women 8 years and up will be
held in conjunction with the General Women’s Meeting broadcast on September 26th, 2015. We are
also considering the opportunity for displays of projects or goals of efforts
as members focus on The Family: A Proclamation to the World. The evening
will begin with an opening program, and conclude with refreshments following
the broadcast.
We are filled with great
hope for the spiritual journey that lies before us as we embark on a unified
stake-wide effort to study The Family: A Proclamation to the World during
2015. We anticipate many choice experiences as individuals and families are
lifted and strengthened through study and application of this inspired
document.
As we have prayerfully
sought the Lord’s guidance in these efforts, we have felt His direction to
offer the sisters of our stake an opportunity to join together to
strengthen families. A quote from the talk, Teaching the Doctrine of the
Family, by Julie B. Beck has been instrumental in our efforts: “This
generation will be called upon to defend the doctrine of the family as never
before. If they don’t know the doctrine, they can’t defend it.”
Our hope is that we will gain a greater understanding
and testimony of The Family: A Proclamation to the World and be
prepared to live it, to teach it, and to defend it.

QUOTE: https://www.lds.org/general-conference/1996/10/the-eternal-family?lang=eng&query=Robert+D.+Hales
YOUNG WOMEN: 7th Paragraph of the Proclamation: THE FAMILY is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity. Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities. By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners. Disability, death, or other circumstances may necessitate individual adaptation. Extended families should lend support when needed.
