Who am I? – I am a member of the Relief Society – Thursday, April 7, 2016 @ 7:00 p.m.
This year for our Relief Society Activities, we are focusing
on two questions: “Who am I” and “What is my
mission?” For our February activity,
we focused on our roles in the family.
Sister Julie B. Beck taught, “As
guardians of hearth and home, women have responsibility for the hearts and
souls of Heavenly Father’s children. We
are given this powerful and influential leadership role. The female responsibility of being a wife,
mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend . . . is all about
nurturing, teaching, and influencing.
These are non-negotiable responsibilities. We can’t delegate them . . . . They are our
sacred duties and we fulfill them under covenant.”
We encourage you to ponder your role in the family and to
seek personal revelation and inspiration as you strive to more fully answer the
question, “Who am I and what is my mission?”
For our upcoming April activity, we will celebrate the
organization of Relief Society and focus on our roles and responsibilities as members
of the Relief Society. Joseph Fielding
Smith taught, “You are members of the
greatest women’s organization in the world, an organization which is a vital part
of the kingdom of God on earth and which is so designed and operated that it
helps its faithful members to gain eternal life in our Father’s kingdom.” Sister Elaine L. Jack reminded us, “We are part of a grand whole. We need each other to make our sisterhood
complete. When we reach out to clasp the
hands of our sisters, we reach to every continent, for we are of every
nation. We are bonded as we try to
understand what the Lord has to say to us, what He will make of us.”
We invite you to come enjoy the sisterhood of the Burton 4th
Ward Relief Society, as we share a meal together. As part of our evening, we will have the
opportunity to hear from a few of our past Relief Society presidents as they share
their thoughts on what it means to them to be a member of Relief Society.
