President Gordon B. Hinckley's Challenge and Promise

President Gordon B. Hinckley said in a

worldwide leadership training meeting:

“I am convinced there is no other organization anywhere to match the Relief Society of this Church.

If they will be UNITED and speak with ONE VOICE,

Their STRENGTH will be INCALCULABLE!”

Relief Society - A Restoration of an Ancient Form

RELIEF SOCIETY

“A Restoration of an Ancient Pattern”


Although the name may be modern date,

the institution is of ANCIENT ORIGIN.

We were told by our martyred prophet

that the same organization EXISTED

in the church ANCIENTLY.”

An Answer To Prayer....

In the Relief Society broadcast in September, Sister Julie Beck made this declaration: "Our presidency has prayed, fasted, pondered, and counseled with prophets, seers, and revelators to learn what God would have us do to help His daughters be strong in the face of "the calamity which should come upon the inhabitants of the earth."

AN ANSWER has come that the SISTERS OF THE CHURCH should KNOW and LEARN from the history of Relief Society. UNDERSTANDING the history of Relief Society strengthens the foundational IDENTITY and WORTH of FAITHFUL WOMEN."

Sisters in this beautiful Kalispell Valley...we will be studying the history of Relief Society. The church is in the process of putting a HISTORY together and will be available for our use NEXT YEAR. It will be most interesting...to see how this will BLESS our LIVES TODAY!

I have spent a great deal of time over the years studying EMMA SMITH, the wife of the prophet and the first Relief Society President called in this last dispensation. I will look forward to one day...THANKING HER...for all of her sacrifices in life...

I LOVE this MUSIC to this video...on Emma Smith...I hope you will be TOUCHED as much as I am...I have listened and watched this clip on Emma many times...I have looked into my own heart...and pondered my own service in the kingdom...
