To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
This talk, given by C. Terry Warner (back in 2001, at Ricks College) is something to think about, ponder, then move us into action. I present it to you as a challenge. One day, Bro. Warner decided to arrange his scriptures by topic. This was of his own volition, without assignment, and was clearly an […]

When it comes to Christmas, we want to smother the little darlings with expensive love. Here are a few ideas you […]
Not all of us can attend Women’s Conference at Brigham Young University. I have to confess I haven’t been in years. While checking out the sight recently, I saw how they are making it more available to everyone everywhere.

Do you feel confident with the Word of God? Well, I thought I did, until I played a simple game with my recently returned missionary […]
Many of you are finding the Relief Society Declaration, for the first time, on this site. This Declaration was given to us by Sis. Mary Ellen Smoot, in 1999, during her Presidency.
