To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
There is so much variety in the world today, it’s hard to focus on our true interests. Because of our busy schedules, it’s easier to just catch a few minutes here and there doing what we like to do. With work taking so much time, sometimes it’s just preferred to stay home to be with […]
How many of you really read the lesson before each Sunday comes along? Come on, let’s be honest here. How many of you bring your manuals? Participate, offer to read something, interrupt with a thought that strikes you, share something personal, fall asleep? Lessons are lessons and they only tend to be as good as […]

I felt (and still feel strongly) that mother’s are half, if not the majority of the problem, of making sure young girls are dressed to “fit in”. Is anyone concerned that […]
As I continue thinking about RS activities, I think we all have similar complaints. It’s frustrating to plan something and nobody comes. It’s hard to come up with something the sisters will find appealing and get them to commit their time. Jane, your comment from Sis. Beck was perfect. Are we creating the socializing event […]
I have heard this from so many women: “Something is wrong with Relief Society; I just can’t put my finger on it.” I think I’m feeling that if we are going to get together as sisters it needs to be worthwhile; something of value, a true accomplishment, something that has purpose. The early RS […]
The word for man and woman in Hebrew symbolically illustrate each is of divine origin as well as has a divine future. We will look at each word for woman and man in Hebrew and discuss the symbolism. Man in Hebrew is pronounced `ish and looks like this: (Note: Hebrew is read left to right, […]
Satan is incredibly clever, we have no idea. He has successfully swayed our views on the Plan of Salvation and made us forget our purpose…at least for now. There is a war going on right before our eyes. It is the war between good and evil. We are right in the middle of it and […]
