Sunday, September 23rd Lesson Summary and Study

This Sunday we will be discussing Sister Julie B. Beck's April 2012 General Conference talk, "The Vision of Prophets regarding Relief Society: Faith, Family, Relief." Sister Beck teaches us about the three clear purposes of Relief Society--Faith, Family, and Relief. She says, "From [prophets] counsel, it is clear that the purposes of Relief Society are to increase faith and personal righteousness, strengthen families and homes, and seek out and help those in need." President Boyd K. Packer has likened Relief Society to "a protecting wall." As sisters we have the responsibility to strengthen each other, give relief, and help meet temporal and spiritual needs.

In the recently released book, "Daughters in My Kingdom," we can learn principles about who we are, what we believe and what we should protect. Sister Beck uses this book several times in her talk as a reference. Please bring your copy to Relief Society to help in the discussion. Also, make sure to read the talk. http://www.lds.org/general-conference/2012/04/the-vision-of-prophets-regarding-relief-society-faith-family-relief?lang=eng
