All is Safely Gathered In

June 2011- Relief Society President's message

RS President's Message

As sisters in the Relief Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we embrace our motto "Charity Never Faileth" . We know the most clear definition of charity is the "pure love of Christ". This love is to be manifested through our many unique talents and gifts. In the April 2009 General Conference, Dallin H. Oaks gave a talk entitled "Unselfish Service" in which he reminds us, quote " Our Savior gave Himself in unselfish service. He taught that each of us should follow Him by denying ourselves of selfish interests in order to serve others."

I pray that we each strive to be worthy of those promptings from the Holy Ghost which will lead us to those who have not yet felt the love of Christ. May we follow those promptings without hesitation over selfish desires of this world. May we extend beyond our comfort zone and love without fear.
