Riverton FamilySearch Library/Priesthood and Consultant Training

Support for Priesthood Leaders and Temple and Family History Consultants
In response to the requests of stake priesthood leaders, the Riverton FamilySearch Library is expanding its efforts to assist stake and ward leaders in providing Find Take Teach related support as needed. These services have been coordinated with the Family History Department of the Church and are designed to help stake and ward leaders who have responsibilities for temple and family history to develop the Find-Take-Teach skillsets they need to train members of their stakes and wards. The responsibility to provide training support resides with the high priest group leader, stake/ward lead consultants, and high councilor over temple and family history, but the Riverton FamilySearch Library is happy to provide assistance when needed to help build the capacity of leaders and consultants to provide the one-on-one training needed at the stake and ward levels.


 * Two Resources are available:
 * Priesthood Leadership: A one-time class for priesthood leaders including members of stake presidencies, high counselors in charge of family history, bishops and bishopric members, and high priest group leaders and their assistants. This 90 minute class presents a helpful overview of the Find Take Teach model and includes a personal one-on-one experience in finding names to take to the temple. Note: Since high priest group leaders are responsible for training temple and family history consultants, they may want to take the three-week consultant course.




 * Consultants: A three week class to train Lead Ward and Stake Temple and Family History Consultants and ward temple and family history consultants. This class includes a personal one-on-one experience in finding names to take to the temple. During the third week the consultant is trained to prepare and give a prayerful, Spirit-led one-on-one experience to another person. Consultants must commit to attend all three sessions in a row.

Registration

 * Registration is required. Participants must register at least one week in advance of the scheduled class due to the time required to provide personalized discovery experiences to each participant. Register by emailing Sister Connie Schreiner (conniejeans@familysearch.org). If you have questions, you can call or leave her a message at 1-801-240-9609.

The class schedule is given below. The blue dates are for Priesthood leaders; the yellow dates show when the consultant classes begin. Each class can accommodate up to 12 people and will be filled on a first-come, first served basis. Stake members can sign up together. Your space is reserved when a personal commitment is made for each participant and their contact information (phone number and email address) is received. As library personnel will spend considerable time preparing individual lessons for each participant, a commitment to attend on each scheduled date is mandatory. Reservations must be made at least a week in advance. Please reserve your spot in the sessions you desire by email to Sister Connie Schreiner (conniejeans@familysearch.org) [mailto:conniejeans@familysearch.org Send email]. We look forward to assisting you in this exciting new program.
