Relief Society: Including Everyone

Relief Society is an organization with many intents and purposes, and one of those is help the sisters in the ward to find fellowship and support.

I am especially sorrowful with this lesson, as I really loved it when I studied it in December. I would like to share with you something that I took from the lesson and have applied to my life over the last three months. When talking of family prayer, President Kimball urges us to make it a kneeling prayer. “All of the members of the family, including the little ones, should have … Continue reading →
