To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Over the years, I’ve seen little corrections given to us by our church leaders to help us understand doctrinal concepts better. The latest one is understanding the doctrine of ministering. While the world preaches “love,” the church preaches “Christ-like love.” Again, as the world demands love without judgment, the church encourages everyone to reach out […]
Have you ever heard of the idea of filling someone’s pitcher? Sometimes we feel completely empty and our pitcher is bone dry of the nourishing elixir of liquid wholeness. Jesus Christ told the woman at the well, “Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give […]
We’ve spent the last four months talking about Ministering. How are you feeling about this topic and what is expected of you? Have your feelings changed from what you thought Visiting Teaching was about? And what happens now? The Brethren clearly feel this change in attitude is urgent, seeing as the emphasis is strong and […]
Sisters! How does ministering work? Well, you’ll be happy to know that you’ve probably been doing this all your life. Catch the Vision: It’s simple. “Wherefore, be faithful; stand in the office which I have appointed unto you; succor the weak, lift up the hands which hang down, and strengthen the feeble knees” (D&C […]
The lesson this month is about charity; loving those who stray and never giving up on them. This is the very definition of visiting teaching. Sometimes, I’m not sure how to go about sharing a visiting teaching message. For example, this month. Are we expected to talk about loving those who stray, or actually loving […]
Visiting Teaching Message The world would say they are fighting for this very idea–to be of one heart, but somehow they think they can achieve it without Jesus Christ, and that would be impossible. Along with this idea, everyone demands that race, gender, and ideology be fairly treated, even specially treated to the point that everyone […]
In order to fully understand this message, we have to understand what the word–consecration– means. Typically, we think of sharing our own time and talents to building the kingdom of God, which is true, but I believe this month’s lesson goes much deeper than that. First of all, I’d like to talk about Visiting […]
Every month we have the blessing of binding ourselves to another person when we visit teach. This is an opportunity to find out things you have in common, strengthen one another in the trials we all are facing, and simply realize that we are not alone. I hope that when you go visiting teaching […]
Back in the old days there used to be training for new Visiting Teachers. Every month there was a Visiting Teaching meeting. That turned into once a quarter, then a five minute blurb every once in a while. Soon, Visiting Teaching Training turned into Visiting Teaching Nagging. Everyone started getting busier and no one wanted […]
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 […]
