Relief Society: Building Unityby Miriam Caldwell | More from this Blogger The Relief Society is one place that can help to build unity in a ward. It offers a chance for the sisters to serve each other, as well as opportunities to get know each other. If you feel that unity is lacking in your ward you can help to set the tone in Relief Society, even if you are not a leader. Here are five easy ways to do this. 1) Take the opportunity to introduce yourself to the sister next to you. You can sit next to a different person each week. It is important to make conversation with the sister next to you. You can learn a little bit about each other, and benefit from the topics discussed. 2) Never gossip about people in your ward. This is the quickest way to cause strife and conflict. If someone is sharing gossip with you, you can simply state that you do not want to gossip. Or you can change the topic. You are never sure who is listening around you. 3) Read the lesson materials ahead of time, and make comments throughout the class. This is a great way to build unity as we learn from each other. It also shows support to the teacher who spent the time preparing the lesson for the group. 4) Attend Enrichment meetings and Enrichment activities as appropriate. Spending time with the other sisters in a less formal setting allows you to form true friendships and to learn the ways that you can help those around you. Enrichment can strengthen the bond that we feel as sisters in the ward. 5) Do your visiting teaching, and allow your visiting teachers to visit you. This program is very important. It allows the leaders to become aware of the needs of the sisters. It also helps you to build friendships within the ward.
