Relief Society Path Home, Family and Personal Enrichment We thank all who have contributed.

"Relief Society can help us turn away from the world, for its express purpose is to help sisters and their families come unto Christ.....We no longer have the luxury of spending our energy on anything that does not lead us and our families to Christ." Sheri L. Dew (Ensign, Nov. 1999) The name of Relief Society "Homemaking Meeting" was changed to "Home, Family and Personal Enrichment Meeting" on January 1, 2000.  This meeting had been modified to help sisters build spiritual strength, develop personal skills, strengthen the home and family, and provide gospel service. Lilies Lane has filed some wonderful ideas to go along  with the Relief Society guidelines on suggested topics, activities, and teaching helps for Home, Family and Personal Enrichment Meetings.   These ideas come from many sources and the ideas that you submit are greatly appreciated.
