To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Make plans now to attend the General Women’s meeting this Saturday, March 29, 2014, beginning at 6:00 MDT. Remember, all women from age 8 to ageless are invited. This is going to be an historic event. It will be the largest group of women gathered together in history. You’ll want to be a part of […]
The Church announced that this year all women, from eight years of age and up, would meet together for both spring and fall Women’s meetings. I’m so glad of this change! This should have been done a long time ago, so I’m happy it’s finally happened. So, why did they decide to include the eight […]
I’m kind of amazed at the answer I receive when I ask friends what their Relief Societies are doing. The typical answer is, “Oh, not much. We have dinner together; nothing special.” If you understand the history of this organization, you will begin to understand the destiny and responsibility that lies at our feet. In […]
For those who were unable to attend the Auxiliary Training in Salt Lake City, you’ll be thrilled to know that you can view the session online at lds.org, as if you were there. They gave us a lot of information, a lot of things to think about, and the spirit flowed. They will continue along […]
Don’t ever underestimate your work as a Visiting Teacher, or in this case a Relief Society Magazine representative. Before 1970, The Relief Society Magazine, when purchased for $1 per year, gave you membership into the Relief Society. Sisters were called to be representatives, and asked to get everyone to subscribe to the magazine. There was […]
If you went to the Conference Center for the Women’s Meeting, you probably received some nicely bow-tied tissues. It was so thoughtful for someone to go to all that work for the sisters gathering for their meeting, wasn’t it? I even asked who had gone to all the trouble and the answer was, “a Texas […]
This Saturday I hope all Relief Society women are planning on tuning in to the General Women’s Meeting. It’s been 170 years since Joseph Smith called the sisters together. This will be the first time we hear from our new Relief Society General Presidency. We hope to catch their vision and be reenergized to do […]
Belle Spafford was president of the Relief Society for twenty years. The Church went through much growth and change during her presidency. It’s too bad most of the sisters in our Relief Society don’t know this vibrant, loveable, and intelligent woman. Read her bio here for a little background on her. Here are a […]
I ponder Relief Society constantly. I think about its history and all that our organization has accomplished over the years. I think of its purpose. I believe Relief Society has but one purpose, but so many wonderful ways to achieve it. And I think of its destiny. What is in store? When the gospel was […]
I have seen over and over a Relief Society Presidency all fired up and ready to serve after first being called only to fizzle out of steam after a year or so in the calling. I have to ask…how do you think those sisters, who served 25-50 years in their calling, did it? This happens […]
