I would love to hear what your Relief Societies are doing in your additional activities. Living in different places, and being unique individuals, the creativity must be awesome everywhere we are. So, PLEASE share some of the great things you are doing.<\/p>\n
When our new activities program came out (in 2009), so many of us were stumped as to what to do. Sis. Beck told us that each ward is an individual unit with individual needs peculiar to that unit. Urging us to go to the bishop, she invited us to look at our members as people in need. All of us have needs and most of us need help figuring out the best way to fulfill our own needs. Since our organization is one of service and saving souls we should be sincerely organizing our wards and helping our members better their personal lives in the hopes of attaining salvation. Our needs may be different, but there is value in sharing ideas sparking additional ideas that can only help, boost, and strengthen all of us.<\/p>\n
Another very important point I have come to understand is that Relief Society can never compete with the world’s form of entertainment and empty dinner parties are not fulfilling to the soul of a daughter of God. Don\u2019t serve \u201ccrafty\u201d crafts at your meetings when you can be serving knowledge and power to overcome the hardships our world smothers upon us. Sisters are welcome to amuse themselves any way they choose, on their own time, but when they come to a \u201cRelief Society-sponsored\u201d activity make sure they go home armed and ready to strengthen themselves, their families and homes, and one other.<\/p>\n
I think we all recognize the signs of the times. Things are beginning to wrap up and the angels are bursting to come forth and announce the Coming of the Lord in all His glory. But, by golly, our daughters\u2019 (immodest?) prom dresses are sure going to be pretty\u2026 Or, maybe we need more decorations for our home now that the holiday season is approaching\u2026<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t get caught up in the world! You have power to save your families. If you don\u2019t know how–learn how–and share that knowledge with your sisters.<\/p>\n
So, please, won\u2019t you share some of your activity ideas here so we can all find powerful ways to strengthen our loved ones, one another, and ourselves?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
