Thought You Would Like to Know...

There is a blog I follow where the women who write it are starting a new blog. This one focuses on the history of The Church of Jesus Christ's Relief Society organization (which is, I believe, oldest and largest womens organization in the world). Here is some information on it:

Blog Hop
In October 2010, the president of the Relief Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued a challenge for the women of our organization to study our history. She stated that by so doing, we would learn who we are, what we are to do, be united, and change for the better. She also stated that it would keep us safe from the calamity which is to come upon the world.

With that in mind, and in the spirit of our past sisters, we have decided to study some of the past ourselves, write our own history, and attempt to express how we can apply it in our efforts to fight the calamities and destruction of our crumbling society, and to bring Zion back to the earth.

How It Works
Each week, visit Society Sunday to read the latest excerpts from historical newspapers or magazines of the Relief Society. Then, on Sunday, participate in the blog hop/link list by posting on your blog about your thoughts on these articles. Alternatively, you may post a short biography or story about a Relief Society sister you know, or an experience you have had, as we continue to write our history! Post your link at the blog hop/link list, and share your insights with others.

I think this would be a great oportunity to learn more of LDS RS history, hope you'll check it out. I will be. :)
