This year as a family we wanted to do something a little different for scripture study. Instead of reading 1 Chapter a day completing the Book of Mormon in just 9 months, we decided we would try a new approach to our scripture study. We sat down as a family and came up with a list of Topics we wanted to learn more about.
Here is our list of Topics.
Prayer, Scriptures, Missionary Work, Personal revelation, Repentance, Faith, Tithing, Fasting, Priesthood, Work & Self Reliance, Family, Friends, Agency & Accountability, Gratitude, Sabbath Day Observance, Service, Respect, Jesus Christ, Holy Ghost, Baptism, Resurrection.
We put all the topics into a hat and drew out 5 topics. Our first Topic was Missionary Work. We studied Missionary work everyday for about 20 min a day. It took a little over 4 weeks to complete this topic. We learned so much and the discussions were amazing.
Here is a list of things we all Learned.
