Welcome!

Sisters,
Welcome to our new Bentonville 2nd Ward Relief Society Blog. We hope that each of you enjoy the convenience of having an organized and central location where you can access all RS information for our ward, as well as utilizing the resources that are linked from this page. We hope this blog will promote unity, as all of the different Relief Society Committees (Temple & Genealogy, Missionary Work, Compassionate Service, Emergency Preparedness, and Humanitarian Service) will have opportunities to post information that will tie together the various aspects of Relief Society. We hope to use this blog, not only to share information, but to also inspire and uplift each of you. 

Sisters, it is our blessing to be part of a sisterhood that provides “a place of healing, love, kindness, care, and belonging.” President Packer said: “This great circle of sisters will be a protection for each of you and for your families. The Relief Society might be likened to a refuge. . . . You will be safe within it. It encircles each sister like a protecting wall.” He said: “How consoling it is to know that no matter where a family may go, a Church family awaits them. From the day they arrive, he will belong to a quorum of the priesthood and she will belong to Relief Society.” (Boyd K. Packer, “The Circle of Sisters,” 110; quoted in Daughters in My Kingdom, 86.)

We hope that each of you know that you belong. There is always a place and a purpose for you in our Relief Society. We hope that Relief Society will be your safe place. That you will feel the love of our Savior, Jesus Christ, as you serve...and as you have opportunities to be served.

We hope you will take a couple of minutes to watch the video clip below. It speaks to the tremendous power there is, when individuals seek out those in need and find a way to serve. No matter how big or small your offering, the blessing that you will bring to the lives of others will go unmeasured.

We pray for our Relief Society...that we may be unified in love and purpose...and that each of you will feel of the love and concern we have for you, as individuals. Thank you for your service and the way you care for one another. May the fruit of your labors be sweet.

Blessings,

Susan, Sarah, Katie, and Jennifer
