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 […]
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. The three most memorable activities for me were: 1) we had a small activity about cake […]
When Joseph Smith said, “The best measure or principle to bring the poor to repentance is to administer to their wants. 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.

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 […]
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 […]
Turn to LESSON #39 in our Teachings of Presidents of the Church manual (Joseph Smith). RELIEF SOCIETY: DIVINE ORGANIZATION OF WOMEN.

But it would be a tragedy […]
