Conference Study Group

In our ward here in Nicholasville, one of the Enrichment groups that the Relief Society sponsors is a Conference Study Group. It is wonderful and, in my opinion, such a good idea that it ought to be shared.
The basic premise is that every Thursday morning, all sisters are invited to the church to attend an hour discussion on a pre-selected conference talk. We usually have between 7 and 10 sisters who come. We open the nursery so the kids can play and park ourselves in a circle just inside the main doors (to make sure no children escape).
Since attending this lovely group I have gained an increased testimony of the fact that this is a living church, vibrant with revelation straight from living prophets. As I prepare for our discussion each week I find myself immersed in the pending talk and realize that each talk is directly applicable to my life. Because of this study group I have felt increased personal strength and commitment to the gospel as well as renewed determination to seek the Spirit daily.
If you are looking for a great Enrichment group, I would highly suggest this!

Great pictures. Congrats on getting into school in Kentucky! That's wonderful. Of course we're sad that it's not in the East. :) McKay is a cutie. We wish you the best!
