~Relief Society Corner: July Relief Society Meeting

"New" Relief Society Sisters

We live in a world where “NEW” is often synonymous with “BETTER.” But “new,” when used in the context of “change,” can sometimes be synonymous with “uncomfortable.” I am thinking in particular of our “new” Relief Society sisters who are coming to us from Young Women. But there are also others who are “new” to Relief Society: new converts, recently activated sisters, those who have been serving in other organizations in the ward and perhaps have been away from Relief Society for a long time. There are sisters who are “new,” as they have relocated across country, oceans, continents, cultures and sometimes within only a few miles. How I hope that Relief Society is a safe place, a haven and a refuge from the storms of life for every Relief Society sister, no matter her age, marital status, culture or number of years of activity or membership in the Church.
