NEW RELIEF SOCIETY SEAL, SIMPLIFIEDIn the early days of the formation of the Relief Society, Lucy Mack Smith, described this sisterhood in these words: "We must cherish one another, watch over one another, comfort one another and gain instruction, that we may all sit down in heaven together."
At our February 9th Stake Women's conference, "Temple & Home, Our Refuge From the World", we felt the spirit of what Sister Smith was describing. Sisters (and a few brethren) came from all over Lewis County to renew friendships, learn and share, strengthen and enjoy one another ! We witnessed the cherishing, watch care, comforting and instruction you all shared in that day !
It was such a fun and spirit filled event and we want to thank you all who presented as well as those who attended and partook of what was offered. Thank you for your support and enthusiasm, your contributions and feedback !
Then seeing many of you and your families at Stake Conference the next week was a bonus !
this month of March we celebrate the founding and organizing of this great society of women that now spans the earth ! As a Stake Relief society presidency, we look forward to visiting as many of these as we can. We would love to be at every one of your celebrations but have to "divide and conquer" to be represented at those that are held on the same night. We love rubbing shoulders with you and feeling that sisterhood !
On the LDS.ORG website there are so many new resources weekly ! Be sure to check it out frequently...In conjunction with the April 2013 general conference, the Relief society general presidency will be providing training for stake and ward Relief Society leaders.
Love,
Sister Chris Jackson 1st Counselor
