Dear Sisters,
The focus of our Relief Society Summer Service project is service in our homes.
Our homes are the center and foundation of our lives. Too often when in search of an escape we turn everywhere but the home, and end up feeling lost. Our homes can and should be a refuge and haven from the pressures and troubles of the world. All of us have the power, pleasure and responsibility to make our homes our most perfect temples, personalized to our needs.
Our homes start with each of us, individually. We decide what goes into them. What makes us comfortable? What can we do to make our homes a stronghold? We do not speak only of housework, but of physical and spiritual investment and effort. As we learn, we will be able to extend our service and influence to our families. Throughout the summer we want your feedback. What do you do for yourselves, your homes, and your families to make your homes places of refuge and safety, order and peace, power and prayer? Places where you are free to learn and grow and create. Where the adversary cannot penetrate.
We urge you to get excited about this project. Have fun. We will have handouts in your individual Relief Societies, as well as a stake website where you can share ideas and experiences of your summer efforts. At the General Relief Society Broadcast in September we would like to showcase your service.
Sincerely
Your stake relief society presidency
