To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I have been madly working on a complete overhaul of my website. We are adding a magazine, and new pictures, and it’s taken over my life at the moment. My goal is to have most everything up and running over Conference weekend. I have many more posts up my sleeve. In fact, I just found, […]
This was a letter from the First Presidency, to every member of the Relief Society, back in September 1942. It was given in recognition of a new book, A Centenary of Relief Society, which was published by the General Board in commemoration of the centennial anniversary of that organization.
