Presidency Message
Rebecca Brown
Boyd K. Packer has called each ward Relief Society "a circle of sisters." He said, "Each sister no matter where in that circle she stands, can look to either side and feel the spirit of inspiration coming back as she extends the gentle hand of charity to those on either side..."
"You will serve your organization, your cause--the Relief Society--this great circle of sisters. Your every need shall be fulfilled, now, and in the eternities; every neglect will be erased; every abuse will be corrected. All of this can come to you, and come quickly, when you devote yourself to Relief Society." What great blessings and promises are attached to this great organization we are a part of!"
Our ward is a circle of sisters from various countries, backgrounds and ethnicity. Every sister wants to be loved and accepted and to feel like they belong, and if we all "extended a gentle hand of charity" to our sisters we would indeed reap the rewards of lifelong friendships one with another as well as our reward in heaven.
Love,
Sister Rebecca Brown
RS Counselor
