To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
“I’m the counselor that heads up Relief Society meetings in my singles ward. And we just put together a meeting earlier this week about Mental Health Awareness, titled :”Chocolate is not the only answer”. It was a huge success! We had good advertising (which helped), but we had a great turnout. We put together four […]
Relief Society leaders are probably still in the process of planning what to do next year. Let me throw out some ideas and see what you think… By now, the stake and ward has probably set up their goals for next year. A Relief Society president should find out what these goals are and frame […]
I ran across an article in the Woman’s Exponent entitled The Spirit of Relief Society Work. It serves as another reminder of days that must be remembered. “We may sum up in substance the spirit of Relief Society work as developing in the woman who undertakes it, charity, long-suffering, gentleness, patience, humility—these and many more […]
Back in 1985, Pres. Hinckley gave a talk on “Ten Gifts from the Lord”. As I read through these gifts I was reminded of the spiritual purposes of Relief Society, and my blessings of its membership. YOU HAVE THE GIFT, THE OPPORTUNITY, AND THE RESPONSIBILITY OF DOING GOOD. Our charge, according to Jesus Christ himself, […]
I ran across a talk given by Ardeth G. Kapp and thought it was appropriate for this time of year. We can take the entire holiday season to ponder this not-terribly-new idea, then decide what the new year will bring. It takes six weeks to form a habit, right? First, she explains how the pioneers […]
There has always been a problem with modesty…and there always will be, because Satan knows just how to grease the wheel. We raised two girls and four boys. From the time the girls were small, sleeves always covered their shoulders, including sundresses, when they were babies. They learned to feel naked without a solid covering. […]
I found my list of 101 grateful things for 2008 and decided it was time to get started with my 2009 list. Last time it took two sides of one page, two columns each, squeezing, minimizing, and making it fit. This time I’m going to use as many pages as I need to explain why […]
A friend of mine wrote and sent this letter out to all RS Presidents and Bishops in her stake. I thought she did a beautiful job of explaining the simple change that has once again come over Relief Society. Dear Relief Society Leaders, What a wonderful blessing it is to be called to work with […]
It appears that gone are the days of month-to-month entertaining. We have to adjust our thinking and think anew. As I have studied how our early sisters organized themselves, I see, readily, Sis. Beck’s vision. She is not asking us to do anything new, she is asking us to refocus. Times are always changing, and […]
I just have to share with you my lesson on settling the Salt Lake Valley. It was way out there enough that I hope you’ll find it interesting too. As we read in Eph 2: 19-21, Jesus Christ is the Chief Cornerstone. At each of our temples, we have cornerstones, with the Southeast being the […]
