Happy Birthday Relief Society

March 17 was the 171st birthday of our  Relief Society!


Since we are not having a Thursday night activity this month due to Savior of the World Productions, we celebrated at Ward Conference with cupcakes for everyone! I think the men and children enjoyed this more than the women! We also had homemade soaps and bookmarks for all our beautiful sisters.

The Relief Society (RS) is a philanthropic and educational women's organization and an official auxiliary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). It was founded in 1842 in NauvooIllinoisUSA and has approximately 6 million members in over 170 countries and territories. The Relief Society is often referred to by the church and others as "one of the oldest and largest women's organizations in the world."

PURPOSES OF RELIEF SOCIETY:
  1. 1. Increase in faith and personal righteousness.
  2. 2. 
    Strengthen families and homes.
  3. 3. 
    Serve the Lord and His children.
