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

Relief Society Christmas party

At our annual Christmas party we had a wonderful dinner (recipes here), a fun “get to know you” game, and a silly white elephant gift exchange. I think everyone got the “perfect” gift :) Thank you to Sister Anderson for allowing us, once again, to use her barn for the festivities! Thanks also to Amy Ward for being the great photographer and documenting the night of fun.
