"ENJOY SPIRIT OF WORLDWIDE SISTERHOOD"
“In an
effort to increase the feeling of sisterhood among Latter-day Saint women of all
ages across the world, the general presidents of the women’s organizations have
announced changes that will impact Relief Society, Young Women, and
Primary…
“These
changes were announced weeks before, girls ages eight and older, young women, and
women in the Church will gather for the Church’s semiannual general women’s
meeting—which will replace the general Relief Society and Young Women
meetings that have been held annually for decades.”
“Their
hope is to bring the women of the Church together with international boards,
integrated global training, and the general women’s meeting to celebrate
womanhood and covenant keeping.
“The
‘emphasis is the covenant path that we are all on together,’ said Sister
Oscarson.
“We know
that revelation is scattered and we receive a piece here and a piece there and
they all form a beautiful picture as we take each piece as it comes. It is
something to celebrate.”
