To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Springtime is around the corner. That means it’s time to have a friendly reminder on What Not To Wear. I would urge all Relief Societies to invite the Young Women to attend a Sunday lesson on the subject of Modesty. Because this is an age-old problem, all women, young and old, can contribute and benefit […]
I just get a kick out of some of these articles in the Woman’s Exponent. These women writers (Emmeline B. Wells, primarily) had a sense of humor, a sense of honor, a sense of duty, a sense of spirituality. I just want to tap into it all. After deciphering the language barrier, it’s really good […]
If there is no eating in heaven, I’m not going! On the other hand, I bet heaven has the freshest gardens and the most sumptuous spreads of pot luck foods EVER. Just look at all the food at any given Mormon function: “Please bless the refreshments that they will nourish and strengthen our bodies.” Most […]
For several years now, we have been using the Teachings of the Presidents of the Church manuals for our Sunday lessons. I have heard countless opinions about this manual, the most common one being they are difficult to teach. So, the question is: Are these lessons doing what they were meant to? Are we getting […]
Women in the Relief Society are expected to live up to their privileges. First of all, what are our privileges? I happened to be in the temple while thinking about this, so it was easy to focus and see clearly. I began thinking about the privilege of being a daughter of God and what that […]

It matters not how poor and uneducated you may be, if you will, you may always be choice of your associates. […]
Back in the old days, I imagine women attended meetings, announced a project to work on, and everyone committed to it, or raised their hands to volunteer. Everyone dug in to make the project work, helped where they could, and ultimately it began running itself, so the women were free to begin working on another […]
This photo shows the Retrenchment Dress required by each young woman to wear. The dress was designed by Brigham Young and worn by his daughters. They didn’t like it much, but what could they do? If you can track down a copy of the video, “Pioneers in Petticoats”, you’ll be able to see the Retrenchment […]
It’s never too early to think of Christmas. Am I the only one who thinks that way? Granted, I am not one of those who has the shopping all done and wrapped before Thanksgiving. I’m usually still scrambling around at the last minute still looking for that “perfect gift”, which is hopefully on sale. This […]
“Following is a list of guidelines for additional meetings as outlined in Sister Beck’s talk: The ward Relief Society president should oversee all Relief Society meetings. The Relief Society president should counsel regularly with her bishop regarding how these meetings can meet the needs of individuals and families in the ward. Plans should be consistent […]
