That is a good question. Here are some ideas to think about.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">First of all, every ward is unique, and it will be up to bishops and RS presidents to decide what is needed in their ward. But we are a world-wide Relief Society, and many of our needs will be the same because we have one purpose and one goal, right?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Most of my ideas come from what the Church already provides, so they won\u2019t be brand new ideas, but I hope you\u2019ll see them with new eyes. Let the spirit show you how to best manipulate them into valuable areas of study that will best help your sisters and your families.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Marriage and Family<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Everyone knows the family is under attack by the world. The Church of Jesus Christ protects marriages and families, so how can Relief Society promote this idea? You just have to figure out when to hold additional meetings or disburse the great resources that are available and much needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/providentliving.lds.org\/lds-family-services-strengthening-marriage?lang=eng\">Resources to Strengthen Marriages and Families<\/a>\u00a0 This is a course offered by the church that includes lots of areas that can help families.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/providentliving.lds.org\/lds-family-services\/topics-library?lang=eng\">Common Challenges Facing Families<\/a>\u00a0Listed like topics, these are also helpful ideas with helpful sources.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Search <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lds.org\/ensign?lang=eng\">Church Magazines<\/a> (since 1971) for articles on help\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">for marriages and families.

First, find out who has certain skills in your ward and can teach, then find out who wants to learn certain skills. (And I mean skills, not hobbies.) Try to match them up or learn together with Youtube videos.

Some things we can act on our own, but we can make a greater impact when we work together. Here are some suggestions:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Take a walk, or drive around, with a prayer in your heart to see if you can sense who could use some help, a thoughtful phone call, or visit.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">On Sundays, look at the faces in your congregation. Then, on Monday, spend some time calling or texting anyone who seemed to look a little downhearted.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Humanitarian aid is much needed all year long. Be one of those wards who always has a project or two going on.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Visiting care centers and hospitals with songs, stories, animals, or cards are simple ways to spread joy and happiness to others.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">There are many local organizations, which we are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lds.org\/topics\/humanitarian-service\/help?lang=eng&amp;old=true\">encouraged to help<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Singing Mothers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Regardless, whether you have a ward choir or not, create a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reliefsocietywomen.com\/2008\/08\/28\/the-singing-mothers\/\">Singing Mothers<\/a> group of singers. Practice regularly and find places to sing just for the sheer joy of song.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Sisters, we BELONG to Relief Society.
