To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
This poem is as old as our Relief Society is and it lovingly explains the heart of our great organization. This would be a great addition to any study of our history, so share it with your sisters. And remember it for your birthday celebration in March. The Female Relief Society of Nauvoo (What […]
The General Relief Society Presidency seems very focused on what they are telling us. After rereading their talks, I would like to point out some things that struck me as important. Whatever any of us get out of it, it’s clear that we are being asked to make a clear choice and stand up against […]
From Illinois: “This video was a labor of love. While serving as RS president in the Chicago suburbs {Geneva, IL} , my heart was touched at all of the things the women in my ward did–for their children, spouses, and friends and ward members. Out there the ward IS everyone’s family and they truly take […]
From Arkansas: “The biggest thing our Stake RS does is the RS Broadcast. The RS Presidency usually has a chairman in charge of a dinner for all the sisters in the stake. This time, about 14 men were asked to serve us. I have to tell you, it was incredible. The man in charge of […]
I just returned from picking up my son from his mission, in Peru. What an experience! I made some wonderful new friends as we went around visiting many of the families my son taught and baptized.

Precious, because Nephi said if we don’t understand it, we may just miss the entire boat of the purpose of earthlife. As far as I’m […]
One of the more well known children of Brigham Young was Susa Young Gates. She was a mover and a shaker in the Kingdom of God, and heaven help us if we forget all the good that she did during her time on the earth. Susa Amelia Young was born on 18 March 1856, in […]
I’ve been thinking about ward activity lately. There are wards with just a few people to draw from, and other wards where there are more members than callings. I really feel for the Bishop who has to juggle a certain number of members, attitudes, abilities, and strength. The Relief Society President can help with this […]
The Relief Society Magazine used to have a feature entitled, “Unusual Mothers”. It would spotlight women who had given birth to a large number of children.
