Are You in a Unfriendly Ward?19 Dec 2006 01:34 PM A sister I VT who is less-active, is so because she experienced this when she moved away for University. As she was a student there and hadn't actually moved there permanently they didn't bother with her, over time she was so upset that she stopped going out to church and hasn't been back even since she moved back home. We are now trying to reach out to her and help melt away that hurt. blossy is there anything you could tell me from your experiences that might help me know how to best reach out to this sister - she is amazing and I just want her to come back and receive the blessings of the gospel. Please help me know how best to reach out to others in my ward. Home, Family and Personal Enrichment19 Dec 2006 01:27 PM I'm the Relief Society Secretary in our ward and am wondering about the new program. When it says Enrichment meetings and activities what does this mean? I thought that meetings suggested something more structured with some sort of lesson but apparently because it doesn't say that we just do activities that are bigger than usual. What do you think and is there anywhere I can get a more specific information on the new guidelines ? Five Tips to Complete Your Visiting Teaching19 Dec 2006 12:37 PM Great tips! just wanted to share what my companion and I have done this year. we visit a sister who gradualy went less-active when she moved away for college (her new ward didn't include her or help in any way - another lesson for us all to learn here). She hasn't been out to Church for quite some time. We had a getting to know you meeting at my companions house and gave her a bag of small gifts (one for each of the twelve days of Christmas) along with a scripture, spiritual thought or inspirational story. We figure even in this busy period she will have a minute or two to open her gift and read her message, so we have been able to include the Lord in her life again for just a few minutes a day right up until Christmas. This gift has so far been very well received. We are looking at doing advent calendars for next year (using craft matchboxes). New 2007 Theme for Mutual19 Dec 2006 10:09 AM I love this Scripture and wil be adopting it as my Personal Growth Theme for 2007 ! Thanks :) Visiting Teaching19 Dec 2006 09:51 AM thank you so much for this article ! I love visiting teaching and am increasingly worried at the number of negative comments I hear in Relief Society regarding this area of Relief Society. It seems we have lost our way somewhat with VT, not so much with the visits (as most sisters here make it out most months) but with the why - the comment I hear most is "it's a little obselete today", "I don't want to be assigned a friend or as one", "it's so fake". We need a renewal of our understanding of VT and the spirit of it, the service, the watchcare, the sisterhood, the unity and the love. I am new in my ward and have a great friend in my VT companion whom I would've been too shy to mix with usually. I have also got to know those sisters I teach and have felt the Lord reahing out to me as I serve those sisters. I thank the Lord for VT - and the people it brings into my life. Relief Society: Five Tips on Taking Meals to Families19 Dec 2006 09:41 AM I found that the meals were lovely but came in the first week we brought our son home whne my husband was at home on paternity leave - it would have been more helpful if they came the week he went back to work with me adjusting to being at home alone with a baby. I wonder if there would be scope to allow for this - I may drop a line to our RS President (I am secretary) |
