To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
In the Women’s Exponent, they’ve recorded many of the minutes of various Relief Society and Retrenchment meetings. Typically, they will record who spoke at the meeting and how many were in attendance. I finally found one where they tell us what was actually discussed! Now we can do a comparison. “The Lord poured His Spirit […]
This is a talk given by President Boyd K. Packer called, “The Golden Years”. This one addresses how useful the older generation is, and should feel. Pres. Packer tells of attending a meeting where there seemed to be a majority of elderly people in the congregation. He was very impressed with this attendance. The stake […]
How important is your practice hymn time in Relief Society? Are you learning any new hymns? Are you learning the histories of these hymns and their composers? How about a spiritual thought from the references attached to each hymn? What about having musical numbers? Are you hearing enough from all the talented sisters in your Relief Society; even […]
As I understand it, President Boyd K. Packer is an expert on the Relief Society, having studied our beloved organization for many years. He has spoken on this organization more than any other general authority, ever. President Packer gave two talks, both entitled The Relief Society, in Oct 1978 and again in Apr 1998. He opens […]
“You were entrusted to come to the earth in these last days to do again what you did before.” This bold statement comes from Elder James J. Hamula’s Conference talk, Winning the War against Evil. This was a talk geared for the young men, but I feel it is worthwhile for mothers to hear it. […]
As I continue reading the Women’s Exponent, I am happy to see so many similarities. Women are the same from generation to generation. We have the same concerns and the same interests. I’ve mentioned before about the Retrenchment Association that was organized out of the Relief Society. It was originally meant to inspire the women […]
I’ve selected what I think are the greatest concerns we, as women of the church, should be focusing on. I realize this is a bold statement and I welcome any additions to this list. But if you agree with me, please comment and share your experiences. I am posting them as separate goals, and they […]

So, what does Virtue mean, anyway? In a recent Church News there are several articles discussing this value for the Young Women. It’s a good quality, but very broad, meaning many things. This is what I pulled out of all of the articles I read: “Virtue is far more than moral cleanliness and chastity, although these […]
I love finding these gems in the Woman’s Exponent. The language is just a little more formal, but the subject still rings true. In our day and age, we have to dig deep to find the true meaning of Christmas and what we are really celebrating. And when we do find the true meaning, we […]
