To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
“We had a fashion show where everyone checked their closets and offered clothing worn “back in the old days”, including wedding dresses once worn by grandmothers, cheerleading outfits worn in youth, and period clothing. These dresses were modeled by the Young Women. The committee who organized this event was made up of Relief Society sisters […]
“One Enrichment Activity that was helpful to all of us was when we learned some basic skills such as cutting hair, maintaining our finances and living on a budget, how to better store food, and how to alter older clothes. Sisters talked about this activity for a long time after and we all enjoyed a […]
A while back I stocked my shelves with at least twenty boxes of cereal. They were on sale and I was going to add them to my storage. Unfortunately, I still have snack-fiends at home and my supply dwindled almost immediately. I think there is something to learning how to use wheat, oats, rice, beans, […]
In response to your note with RS Community questions: 1) Activities of benefit: variety has seemed to be a big help in different wards I’ve been in, for example book group, volleyball or basketball, service projects in the community.

At the most recent Young Women’s Meeting, Sis. Cook challenged ALL women to fulfill the Personal Progress requirements for the value VIRTUE. The pamphlet is free at the Distribution Center (you could probably get one from your ward Young Women’s President). The definition of Virtue tends to be very nebulous.

The Ladies’ Relief Society is not only to relieve the poor, but to save souls” , the women understood their first responsibility as they organized themselves for the work of Relief Society.

These words from Joseph Smith: “As females possess refined feelings and sensitiveness, they are also subject to overmuch zeal, which must ever prove dangerous, and cause them to be rigid in a religious capacity—[they] should be armed with mercy, notwithstanding the iniquity among us.” Women are the most compassionate humans on the earth.
