To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I’m kind of amazed at the answer I receive when I ask friends what their Relief Societies are doing. The typical answer is, “Oh, not much. We have dinner together; nothing special.” If you understand the history of this organization, you will begin to understand the destiny and responsibility that lies at our feet. In […]
For those who were unable to attend the Auxiliary Training in Salt Lake City, you’ll be thrilled to know that you can view the session online at lds.org, as if you were there. They gave us a lot of information, a lot of things to think about, and the spirit flowed. They will continue along […]
This month’s message is on how we must bleed service to one another. It has to be part of our nature, our very DNA. As Pres. Monson said in last month’s First Presidency message (Aug 2012): “All who have studied mathematics know what a common denominator is. For Latter-day Saints, there is a common denominator […]
How do we demonstrate our discipleship? The word discipleship is well chosen. As sisters, we serve. That is what we do. But, as we’ve learned more about the history of our organization, we have learned that we save lives too; often by serving. So, as disciples of Christ, how do we represent Him through our […]

During Julie B. Beck’s five years as General Relief Society President she has spoken often of the importance of the Relief Society in all women’s lives. I’m so grateful for her many talks on the importance and joy of being a woman of God, a mother and a member of the Relief Society in these […]
Back in 1942, the Relief Society set out to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of this great organization. For months the sisters held bazaars, promoted the Relief Society Magazine, talked about it’s history, started more projects, and organized huge celebrations. They organized a magnificent program that would be held in the Tabernacle, in Salt Lake City, […]
This year marks the 170th anniversary of the organization of the Relief Society. What are you doing to celebrate? March 17th is around the corner, so I’m sure you all have plans already for your celebration. But, just in case, I’ve got some ideas any group or individual can do. With last year’s emphasis on […]
Who says we can’t have anymore ward activities? Not the handbook. It’s possible the activities chairman was falling into the trap of hosting too many parties and our leaders would like us to be a little more purposeful at our gatherings.
