To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
What does it take to be a great and faithful leader in our church? During this General Conference (April 1984) two great and faithful leaders were released, after years of service, and two new leaders were sustained. Elaine A. Cannon, as Young Women General President served for six years while Barbara B. Smith, as Relief […]
I’ve talked to enough people to know that the Relief Society organization is struggling down in the grassroots of the ward level. With all the changes we’ve been experiencing, people are wondering just how to move forward with the church. What is our Relief Society sisterhood? Here are my thoughts and observations and maybe a […]
I just discovered a wonderful talk, given by Spencer W. Kimball back in 1958, entitled, “Women, Wonderful Women!” His charge is to motivate us to be mothers righteous enough to create a whole community of righteousness. Elder Kimball focuses his talk on the mothers of the Stripling Warriors. “These sisters must have been organized to […]
Women need women. It’s a fact of life. So, when Priesthood meeting addresses talk about their brotherhood and having a place to belong, I immediately look at our Relief Society. Do we feel that sisterhood? That feeling of belonging? Elder Stevenson talked about creating a playbook that keeps you on the strait and narrow path. […]
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 […]
You know, I have to admit, I don’t understand people that say gospel-based activities are boring. Gospel-based would be discussions about the scriptures, the church, Jesus Christ, etc. Basically, anything that strengthens our personal testimonies. All the Relief Societies I’ve ever been in feel like they have to entertain the sisters rather than feed them […]
This week’s General Conference Odyssey covers the April 1981 Welfare session. This was a session for leadership callings only, so the fundamental principles would trickle down to action in the wards. We don’t have this meeting anymore, unfortunately. It was L. Tom Perry who mentioned that “a little upset in our economy” causes a sharp […]
I’m a little slow, but I finally sat down and listened to some of the BYU Women’s Conference talks. They are now available on BYUtv. I enjoyed listening to the new Young Women Presidency. They were fun and told us a little about themselves. After reflecting a minute, and going over my notes, I correlated […]
I hope you were filled, like I was, after hearing the Women’s Conference last night. Sis. Eubank brought up, again, that quote from Pres. Kimball telling us of the influence we, as the Relief Society sisters, can have on the world. The fact that this prophecy is being referred to so many times tells […]
This is a page in the history of (at the time) the only Farmington, Utah Relief Society during the First World War and Second World War. I am fascinated how busy these women were serving and working and getting together to make great things happen. “1943 was surely a challenge, because World War One […]
