To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
If you got the September 2010 issue of the Ensign, or Liahona, you’ve probably seen the article about Relief Society: Using Relief Society Meetings to Teach and Inspire. This article gives several ideas for planning your Relief Society meetings. Realize that the General Board has made significant changes and that it is not the same […]
I have often wondered why the Relief Society has changed our meeting system, suggesting our meetings be less frequent, less structured, and less demanding. For the past several years I have seen wards either have too many “fun” activities to keep an imaginary quota, or drop all activities, because they don’t know what they want […]
The World, Satan, and Life typically separates us and keeps us feeling alone and powerless. But Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ gather us together in their arms in love. As members of the Relief Society of the Church of Jesus Christ, we are commanded to mourn with those who mourn, comfort those in need of […]
Everyone born on this earth has at least one talent. So many people will say “except me”, or “I was late standing in line that day” or some other self-deprecating comment. But that fact remains true: Everyone has at least one talent, and more than likely they have more. Why is it wards tend to […]

Ahhh!!! Family History. How does one get the sisters excited about Family History? Typically, every ward has a Bishop who puts some form of Family History on his list of goals for the year. Sometimes it’s measurable, sometimes not. Does anything come of it? Do you know, by the end of the year, what has […]
As human beings, with similar feelings, we are a worldwide sisterhood. We can all work at reaching out more to one another. How do you really treat someone who is different? At BYU’s Women’s Conference, Sis. Terri Packer shared some interesting experiences that should make us look at ourselves more critically, and carefully. After twisting […]
It’s been years since I’ve attended Women’s Conference at BYU. I just returned from the first day and have to say—it feels real good to be surrounded by like-minded people, sisters of the heart. I have only one regret that we don’t have a chance to get to know each other during the sessions we […]
