Relief Society, which has the responsibility "to look after the spiritual welfare and salvation… of all the female members of the Church, was organized to provide 'relief of the poor, the destitute, the widow, and the orphan, and for the exercise of all benevolent purposes.' This includes 'relief of poverty, relief of illness, relief of doubt, relief of ignorance; relief of all that hinders the joy and progress of woman.' " - Julie B. Beck

Christmas Gifts needed

Photobucket
The DI still collecting NEW UNWRAPPED Christmas gifts for distribution to needy families in the area. Bishops send families to "shop" at the DI for the members of their families. Our assignment as a Stake this year was gifts for GIRLS AND BOYS AGES 14-18. If you would like to donate, you can take it to the Federal Way DI yourself, or you can give it to a member of the RS Presidency and we will get it there for you. We would need to do this ASAP as that time of year is upon us.
