Objectives outlined for Relief Society meetings

Using Relief Society meetings appropriately will increase the ability of the Relief Society to work in powerful ways with priesthood leaders in every ward, said Sister Julie B. Beck during the General Relief Society Meeting Sept. 26.Sister Beck noted that for the past number of years, Mormons have called weekday Relief Society meetings \"home, family and personal enrichment.\" That name will now be discontinued, she said.

All future weekday Relief Society meetings are to be called what they are: Relief Society meetings, she said.

These meetings, Sister Beck explained, can be valuable supplements to Sunday instruction, especially for sisters who serve in Primary or Young Women or who are unable to attend Sunday meetings. They are also a good place to bring friends of other faiths or to include those sisters who do not actively participate in the church.
