Family Month
The month of August in our ward is designated as "Family Month." We aren't supposed to have presidency meetings, mutual, etc. Of course we still hold our 3 hour Sunday meetings, but that is about it. During this month we are suppose to really focusing on our families, planning activities, making sure we are 'perfect' at having prayer, scripture study, and FHE (at least for this month). All those other meetings and organizations of the Church are so important, but its nice to take a step back, have a little break, and really focus on the most important "organization" or unit of the Church and the world, our families. The key to the month, I believe, is really planning ahead and for success. We did this last year as well and I really enjoyed it. We are excited to play and work together this month. Feel free to join in and make it a family month for you too!

I love this idea! What a great way to refocus as a family on what's important. Have fun with it.
I am so looking forward to the no meetings and spending time with my family. Plus, I feel that they are old enough to really contribute to the things that they would like to do as well.
I wish that they would make this world wide within the church. I have heard of areas that do that and ours is one that dont. I am in the yw and the summer is always so packed full of activities that I fill that I am constantly leaving Philip and the kids to go be with the youth. I like that idea of one month of the summer being focused on the family and working on what areas that your own family needs - what a great idea!
