Jill this was such an inspired and beautiful lesson. Thank you for your time and effort. Sisters please take the time to see your visiting sisters. Reach for those blessings Heavenly Father is just waiting to pour down on you.
Sisters as we have met as the newly called Presidency of this wards Relief Society we have felt a deep appreciation for the recently released presidency for their labors in the Lords vineyard. For their tireless efforts to strengthen each of us through their service. I also testify to you that these sisters who are now called to serve, each have their own personal conversion to the gospel, sustain the Priesthood of God, and of the role of the Relief Society program under the direction of this priesthood. We still have much to learn and I am certain that we will be strengthened and gain a greater level of conversion as we serve in this capacity. It is now with our heartfelt love and concern that we want to be an instrument in the Lords hands to help you be strengthened in any way we can. We ask for your prayers, love, support and the contribution of your strengths, gifts, talents. As we share the divine attributes given to each one of us as sister in Zion, work side-by-side to build up God’s kingdom we will be edified, uplifted, refined, and converted to new principles of the Gospel as we accept the Lord’s invitation to come unto Him!
The survey we asked you to fill out telling us more about your interest and your gifts/talents, and where you are willing to share those gifts to serve and strengthen other sisters; can only help us know where we can better serve you and let us know what you are willing to strengthen others and to bring enrichment into each others lives.
I close repeating Sister Allred’s statement again, “Sisters the Relief Society Needs YOU! And you Need Relief Society.” as we work and serve together, pray for one another, and enjoy each others talents. As we work towards the goal of becoming the woman the Savior needs us to be; needs will be met, we will bring others unto Christ, lift many hands that hang down, strengthen our testimonies, and buoy-up each others spirits, through these experiences we will gain many blessings--personally which in turn will strengthen our families and homes.
May you know the love and concern we as a presidency have for each of you. May we each be converted that we are “Needed” in this great organization is my humble prayer. In the name of our everlasting strength; our ultimate example, our kind and compassionate friend, that of Jesus Christ. Amen
What a lucky ward we are!!
