FEBRUARY E^2 CLASS

Read: Scientific Discoveries that Build Testimonies and Strengthen Faith by Dan Neville

**I have extra copies of the book that the author has generously supplied for each family that comes to class. If you need a copy and plan on attending class, let me know and I can arrange to get you one.

**This class has a new date. We will be meeting on Thursday, February 19th from 7-9pm at the Pack home.

Very Important: Please spend time and make an extra special inspirement this month. I think it would be very rewarding for our guest speaker to hear all that we've learned from the book that he wrote. What an opportunity for us to share what we learn with the author of this month's book!

Take notes: Take notes of how the book correlates with our monthly doctrine that we are studying of the plan of salvation. Specifically, why is it important to seek learning by study and also by faith. What are examples from the book of this principle and the blessings that flow from living it?

Cultural Literacy: We will not have cultural literacy terms this month because we will have a special opportunity to have the author, Dan Neville, come and speak to us. We want to give him as much time as he needs!
