To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Turn to LESSON #39 in our Teachings of Presidents of the Church manual (Joseph Smith). RELIEF SOCIETY: DIVINE ORGANIZATION OF WOMEN. This is a golden opportunity to share the good this organization has done for all mankind. This manual focuses on Joseph Smith’s involvement with the organization, as it should. But it would be a tragedy […]
What happens when a female investigator comes to church? Are the Relief Society sisters there to greet her? Does she understand Mormon terminology enough to get around? Does she feel comfortable enough to return? We get caught up in what we know and forget what other’s might see. We forget that Mormons are very unique […]
Here’s the bottom line—Women are different from Men. We feel differently about things. We think differently. Our needs are different. Our emotions run on different levels…completely. For women, Modesty is a universal problem. For men, the difficulty is Pornography. For some reason, women cannot get enough of wanting to look sexy. We are surrounded with […]
I heard about a Relief Society recently, where many of the sisters were active in various activities. They had a book club, an exercise group, a scrapbooking group, many groups where sisters happily congregated together sharing interests. I’m glad to hear sisters are involved with one another, because I feel that has been lost to […]
Springtime is around the corner. That means it’s time to have a friendly reminder on What Not To Wear. I would urge all Relief Societies to invite the Young Women to attend a Sunday lesson on the subject of Modesty. Because this is an age-old problem, all women, young and old, can contribute and benefit […]
I just get a kick out of some of these articles in the Woman’s Exponent. These women writers (Emmeline B. Wells, primarily) had a sense of humor, a sense of honor, a sense of duty, a sense of spirituality. I just want to tap into it all. After deciphering the language barrier, it’s really good […]
If there is no eating in heaven, I’m not going! On the other hand, I bet heaven has the freshest gardens and the most sumptuous spreads of pot luck foods EVER. Just look at all the food at any given Mormon function: “Please bless the refreshments that they will nourish and strengthen our bodies.” Most […]
For several years now, we have been using the Teachings of the Presidents of the Church manuals for our Sunday lessons. I have heard countless opinions about this manual, the most common one being they are difficult to teach. So, the question is: Are these lessons doing what they were meant to? Are we getting […]
Women in the Relief Society are expected to live up to their privileges. First of all, what are our privileges? I happened to be in the temple while thinking about this, so it was easy to focus and see clearly. I began thinking about the privilege of being a daughter of God and what that […]
We are taught to pray over all things. If there is something we want to change about ourselves, we must pray about it. If there is something we must overcome, we are urged to discuss it with the Lord. We might want to be more patient, more sensitive, more spiritual, less extravagant, less negative, less […]
