To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Face it, we all like to see that others are imperfect. Yeah, we all do it! Somehow, it makes us all accept our humanness and puts us all on the same playing field. Listening to the new Relief Society Presidency (speaking at the BYU Women’s Conference), I can see just how human–and like me–they are. […]
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 […]
It takes more than one person to save and be saved. We cannot do it alone; we need one another. Too many of us lead lives that are too busy to mingle with our fellow sisters. If it weren’t for our callings, we might never enjoy the rich spirit of our sisterhood. This year, as […]
“To supplement the instruction in Sunday meetings, Relief Society sisters may participate in additional meetings. These may include service, classes, projects, conferences, and workshops. In these meetings, sisters learn and accomplish the charitable and practical responsibilities of the Relief Society. They learn and practice skills that will help them increase their faith and personal righteousness, […]
Belle Spafford was president of the Relief Society for twenty years. The Church went through much growth and change during her presidency. It’s too bad most of the sisters in our Relief Society don’t know this vibrant, loveable, and intelligent woman. Read her bio here for a little background on her. Here are a […]

That is a very long protocol. There has been a slight shift, for […]
Back in 1969, Elder Harold B. Lee was asked, by the Relief Society General Presidency, to address the women on the obligations of membership in the Relief Society. I’ve outlined a little of what he said: He quoted the First Presidency, who spoke at the Relief Society Centennial, in 1947: “Frequent recurrence to fundamentals is […]
The Daughters in my Kingdom book is full of interesting things to talk about in our Relief Societies. We learn about our history and what our sisters once did in difficult times. We can learn a lot from how they stood up to those difficult times. Incorporating this book into our lessons will remind us […]
The young women have been focusing on the principle of virtue these past few years. We, as their mothers, should be the best example for them to truly understand what virtue means. How we conduct ourselves in all situations is better than any words we may offer them. Years ago, I made a mistake in […]
I hope you all had the opportunity to listen to the General Women’s Meeting. As usual, it was uplifting and soul building. As I listened to the speakers, I hoped to find things that I personally should be working on. What are they telling ME that I should do? Sis. Beck spoke on the pattern […]
