All Relief Society meetings should fulfill the purpose of the organization — to help educate Latter-day Saint women and engage them in the Lord's work of salvation, said Sister Julie B. Beck, Relief Society general president.
Speaking to the Church News a few weeks after announcing new objectives and procedures for weekday Relief Society meetings, Sister Beck said the meetings should be used as tools by inspired Relief Society presidents and bishops.
If meetings "are not strengthening the faith of sisters, if they are not helping them prepare for the blessings of eternal life, then why are they being held?" said Sister Beck. "Relief Society was organized to engage sisters in the Lord's work and to teach them how to do that in their homes and in their personal lives."
