To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
The Mormon women, who first lived in the Salt Lake Valley, were persecuted for their devotion to polygamy. To us, polygamy is pretty distasteful, and we avoid the subject. But to them, it was their lifestyle, their belief, and their choice, and they wanted the world to just leave them alone. In the Dec. 1, […]
Is anyone worried about the economy? Have you felt a pinch yet? How prepared are you for what’s to come? We’ve been told for years what to do to prepare. We’ve done a little here and there, but now is the time to really look at what we’ve learned. There are several websites and blogs […]
Promiscuity is an epidemic. Virtue is its opposite. The attitude of this “value” is horribly skewed in the world. We focus on the youth as a place to start preaching and teaching, when in reality this is a problem where every age is affected. Unwed births are surging among women ages 25-29 according to some […]
Are there any good manners left in our society? What happened to Thank You notes, RSVPs, sincere apologies? Is the customer ever right, anymore? Is graciousness old fashioned? Do our young people know how to conduct themselves in a formal situation? Emmeline B. Wells wrote an article in the Women’s Exponent lamenting this very topic […]
Have you ever heard of, or even thought about, the various names of our auxiliaries? What we recognize now as the Relief Society, Young Women’s, and Primary were all the brain-child (of course inspired by our Heavenly Father) of sisters in the Relief Society. Once the idea blossomed, it was organized under the enormous hat […]
Why is it that those who serve in the Primary or Young Women’s, upon release, say they have to get used to Relief Society? It’s because Relief Society has become a SUNDAY ONLY organization. Why do Stay-At-Home moms feel like they don’t achieve much? Because the Relief Society may not be functioning properly in fulfilling […]
I hope everyone had the chance to hear the General Young Women’s Meeting. Even though we may be Relief Society age, it’s still important to be involved and aware of the Young Women and the things they are going through, and struggling with. By going on to www.lds.org you can see the video presentation of […]
Brigham Young asked Emmeline Wells to organize a wheat storage program. Apparently, it wasn’t easy to get the women out to glean the fields. The women were heard to say, “I will rather give a bushel of wheat than go out to glean.” It was such a problem that women, who refused to do their […]
Turn to LESSON #39 in our Teachings of Presidents of the Church manual (Joseph Smith). RELIEF SOCIETY: DIVINE ORGANIZATION OF WOMEN. This is a golden opportunity to share the good this organization has done for all mankind. This manual focuses on Joseph Smith’s involvement with the organization, as it should. But it would be a tragedy […]
I heard about a Relief Society recently, where many of the sisters were active in various activities. They had a book club, an exercise group, a scrapbooking group, many groups where sisters happily congregated together sharing interests. I’m glad to hear sisters are involved with one another, because I feel that has been lost to […]
