To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Probably the most important Relief Society Documents are the Minute Book, the Relief Society Declaration and the Purpose statement. Here’s why: Sarah Kimball was a resourceful sister, living in Nauvoo, wanting to find a way to help build the temple. She and her maid decided to form a sewing group of ladies to make shirts […]
This morning I woke up in the middle of dreaming that I was telling people about how monthly Relief Society meetings had evolved. Weird, huh?! But, weirder still, I found a way this dream can apply to this week’s General Conference Odyssey report. In October 1988, Neal A. Maxwell spoke on how Jesus Christ can […]
Have you ever looked up the long list of talks that focus on women and our potential? Very regularly, we have been given honor, support, promises, and encouragement by our leaders. Here is a list. After reading these talks, there can be no doubt that women have, and have always had, a vital part in […]
As I’ve been reading through the talks from our recent General Conference, I felt inspired to read through the Relief Society Declaration and compare it with the Young Women Theme. Even though they are different organizations, the RS and YW are strikingly similar in purpose and destiny. The Relief Society Declaration was first given to […]
The underground train, in London, is much narrower than the tunnel it travels through, so much so, there is a gap as you step from train to platform. Signs and announcers remind you constantly to beware of getting caught in the gap. As I saw the signs and heard the announcements, I remembered a talk […]
Because there is a war going on between good and evil, sometimes I wonder what Relief Society is doing about it. Is it okay to talk about issues that are controversial during class or activities? Not to be controversial, but to become aware of the evil around us and know how to stand for truth. […]
Just think, Relief Society class will be held only two times each month. Is that a good thing, or a bad thing? Hopefully, you have read enough on my website to see that this isn’t a good or bad thing, but in order to obey our prophet and help him gather Israel, Relief Society leaders […]
I occasionally read through the Female Relief Society of Nauvoo Minute Book (I’m weird like that). It’s pretty inspiring what Joseph Smith is telling the women, but I’ve realized something. Back in the 19th century, women had nothing going for them. They had no rights, no voice, no way to be educated, no independent income, […]
A few years ago, our son came to us explaining a girl in his ward was asking about his thoughts on the idea that women should be given the priesthood too. This particular son has always had an understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and I have all confidence his answer was clear, concise, […]
President Nelson has asked us to re-energize Relief Society by understanding our purpose. We have a destiny, sisters, and he is calling on us to position ourselves, so we can become a vital part in preparing the world to receive its king, even Jesus Christ. Feeling a Part of Relief Society If you don’t feel […]
