To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I felt President Uchtdorf’s talk on “You are my hands” was geared directly toward the Relief Society. If we neglect, or are too busy, to act upon the two great commandments, “we are missing the point.” As sisters in the Relief Society, we cannot afford to miss the point. He spotlighted many examples of Jesus […]
From SLC: “Right now, our Presidency (I’m education counselor) is busy providing meals for families whose members have had horrible ski accidents, and some who are ill. It seems to go on and on! However, like every other ward, we are planning and organizing weekday meetings. Next week I will be presenting a demo, hopefully, […]
“I’m the counselor that heads up Relief Society meetings in my singles ward. And we just put together a meeting earlier this week about Mental Health Awareness, titled :”Chocolate is not the only answer”. It was a huge success! We had good advertising (which helped), but we had a great turnout. We put together four […]
It appears that gone are the days of month-to-month entertaining. We have to adjust our thinking and think anew. As I have studied how our early sisters organized themselves, I see, readily, Sis. Beck’s vision. She is not asking us to do anything new, she is asking us to refocus. Times are always changing, and […]
“Our ward is always doing creative things to provide for the needs of the sisters. We have held fairs where several different areas are covered to help a woman feel better about herself. Most women respond well to that. Upon the death of a spouse, the Relief Society sorted through the deceased person’s clothes to […]
In our busy lives, it’s hard to find time for everything, but the bottom line is women need women—and getting together is a necessity—and we always manage to find time for what we really want to do, don’t we? Are important things being replaced in our lives, because we are searching for fulfillment? Emmeline […]
“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 […]
Brigham Young asked Emmeline Wells to organize a wheat storage program. Apparently, it wasn’t easy to get the women out to glean the fields. The women were heard to say, “I will rather give a bushel of wheat than go out to glean.” It was such a problem that women, who refused to do their […]
I heard about a Relief Society recently, where many of the sisters were active in various activities. They had a book club, an exercise group, a scrapbooking group, many groups where sisters happily congregated together sharing interests. I’m glad to hear sisters are involved with one another, because I feel that has been lost to […]
A friend of mine made a simple comment in Relief Society, oh, about fifteen years ago. I have never forgotten it: Do not suppress a good thought. Let me tell you what that little phrase has meant to me ever since. If you have a kind thought for anyone, do it. If you even think […]
