“Relief Society is not limited to a room in a building, a Sunday lesson, an activity, or a presidency. Relief Society is the covenant women of the Church; it is us—each of us and all of us. It is our ‘global community of compassion and service.’ Anywhere and everywhere we go, we are always part of Relief Society as we strive to fulfill its divine purpose, which is for women to accomplish God’s work in individual as well as collective ways by providing relief: ‘relief of poverty, relief of illness; relief of doubt, relief of ignorance—relief of all that hinders joy and progress.’ Similar belonging exists in elders’ quorums and organizations of the Church for all ages, including our children and youth. The Church is more than the buildings; the Church is us, the members. We are The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, with Christ at the head and the prophet as His mouthpiece.” – Reyna I.
