To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
The Church announced that this year all women, from eight years of age and up, would meet together for both spring and fall Women’s meetings. I’m so glad of this change! This should have been done a long time ago, so I’m happy it’s finally happened. So, why did they decide to include the eight […]
Joseph Smith gathered the Mormon Women together telling them they had a great destiny to fulfill. The women were eager to gather together, help the poor, and enjoy temple blessings. When the Relief Society was first organized, there were nineteen members, plus officers. By the following March, there were 1158 members attending. They outgrew their […]
Last year I wrote a post for most of the George Albert Smith lessons. I enjoyed looking over the lesson, arranging my own thoughts, feeling the Spirit witness to me, and being prepared each Sunday lesson. But, I noticed every Saturday night I would get a huge number of visits to that particular lesson as […]
This Saturday I hope all Relief Society women are planning on tuning in to the General Women’s Meeting. It’s been 170 years since Joseph Smith called the sisters together. This will be the first time we hear from our new Relief Society General Presidency. We hope to catch their vision and be reenergized to do […]
I have seen over and over a Relief Society Presidency all fired up and ready to serve after first being called only to fizzle out of steam after a year or so in the calling. I have to ask…how do you think those sisters, who served 25-50 years in their calling, did it? This happens […]
During Julie B. Beck’s five years as General Relief Society President she has spoken often of the importance of the Relief Society in all women’s lives. I’m so grateful for her many talks on the importance and joy of being a woman of God, a mother and a member of the Relief Society in these […]
This month’s visiting teaching message is our choice from all of the General Conference addresses. With Sister Beck’s release, I decided to look up all of her talks over the past five years, read them, and figure out what her legacy is. It wasn’t hard to figure out, because she came out of the shoot […]
Do you have a testimony of Relief Society? That is the question you need to ask yourself this month. What makes Relief Society different from what the world offers women? I think our lesson this month asks us to examine how we feel, as women, about our place in the kingdom of God. Women have […]
On January 17th, 2012 Sis. Beck gave the devotional address at Brigham Young University. Her topic was sort of a culmination of what her presidency has tried to teach us. You can find the talk at BYU Speeches. Sis. Beck has been very consistent as she urges us to strengthen our own faith in the Lord […]
As I have read through all the talks from October’s General Conference, I was struck by how many talks were about POWER. As women, we sometimes assume that the men have all the Power, but that isn’t true. Women have Power, and an obligation, to make something of themselves, and their families. Elder Scott started […]
