Relief Society - Getting to Know You Party

This past week...my sister, Stacy, participated in a Relief Society Activity where they played lots of "Get to Know You" games. At the end the Presidency gave each sister in the Relief Society a notebook and challenged them to "Get to Know" the Savior.

A More Personal Relationship with the Savior…

…that is what we, as the Relief Society presidency, would like for you to receive by following this scripture study program. Pres. Monson said, “I know from personal experience, the spiritual power that can flow into your life if you follow this practice (scripture study). You will feel the love of God and a cleansing, purifying regeneration of your spirit. You will experience moments of revelation, when the Spirit whispers to your spirit to be a better father, a better mother, a better son or daughter, a better disciple of Jesus Christ.”

Our challenge to you…

-For the next 12 weeks, starting on January 17th, read the scripture that is listed for that week as part of your daily scripture study. Read that same scripture every day for one week, and switch to a new scripture each Sunday. (See schedule below.) Ponder what it means to you personally. Take a moment, sometime during each week, to write down your feelings about each scripture in this journal. Answer the questions provided if you feel prompted to. It is our hope, that by studying the same scripture every day for a week, you will more deeply understand the Savior and His relationship with you.
