At last night's Relief Society dinner, we kicked off "A Season of Service," which we hope will be a fun way for us to find new ways to serve each other and our communities. Nan T. is leading the charge on this project and she shared some great ideas with us about things we can do to get involved, share our talents with others and "add substance to our souls" through helping others.
Our goal is to see what good we can do in the world when we're all working together as a group of women on the Lord's errand. Our official "season of service" will culminate in a celebration of the Relief Society program in March. Since one of the primary purposes of Relief Society is to provide relief, we thought focusing on service would be the best way to honor this amazing organization of women in the church.
Nan put her artistic skills to work and created a new bulletin board for us by the Relief Society room. Make sure to check it out. It's not only a piece of art, it has a a plethora of ideas to spark your imaginations about the diverse service opportunities all around us.
Be creative and have fun with this and then share what you do so that you can pass on new ideas. If it's not a secret act of service, take photos and share them with us on the blog and on the bulletin board. Get your kids involved, reach out to your neighbors, plan on providing service to others for the holidays. Organize a group of friends, families, couples and do something together. Think of your talents and find ways to share them.
You don't need to feed the continent of Africa or end homelessness, you just need to find something that works for you in your current circumstance in life that will make the world a better place for someone else, and then have fun doing it!
We can't wait to hear from you!
