To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
In a pile of old Relief Society handbooks, I found this great little booklet about the history of the Relief Society. It was published during Belle Spafford’s presidency.

With the release of the new General Handbook, we all excitedly look for changes, modifications, and new direction from our leaders.

This poem is as old as our Relief Society is and it lovingly explains the heart of our great organization. This would be a great addition to any study of our history, so share it with your sisters. And remember it for your birthday celebration in March. The Female Relief Society of Nauvoo (What […]

Out there the ward IS everyone’s family and they truly take […]
From Arkansas: “The biggest thing our Stake RS does is the RS Broadcast. The RS Presidency usually has a chairman in charge of a dinner for all the sisters in the stake. This time, about 14 men were asked to serve us. I have to tell you, it was incredible. The man in charge of […]
