Relief Society

	“The Relief Society is the Lord’s organization for the women. It compliments the priesthood training given to the brethren. There is a power in this organization that has not yet been fully exercised to strengthen the homes of Zion and build the Kingdom of God – nor will it until both the sisters and the priesthood catch the vision of Relief Society” (Spencer W. Kimball, “Relief Society—Its Promise and Potential,” Ensign, Mar 1976, 2) FEATURES April 2008 Stake Auxiliary Leadership Training In connection with the April 2008 general conference, the general auxiliary organizations of the Church will hold training workshops for stake auxiliary leaders.
