Visiting Teaching Reporting

Beginning November 2011, we will go to an electronic system for reporting Visiting Teaching. There are two ways you can report electronically. One is by clicking on the link on the right hand side of this page (Visiting Teaching Reporting). Or wait for the email. Visiting Teachers will receive an email from scvisitingteaching.

Here are the instructions for responding to the email: "Click on the link above. This is our new visiting teaching form. Simply enter the information for each field and press submit. Your visiting teaching is now recorded!"

For immediate needs of the sisters you visit or problems using this form, please contact Sister Bottoms.

For sisters who do not use the internet, they can still report via telephone.

Thank you for helping us move forward!

Release of Daughters in My Kingdom

In grateful recognition of the blessing of Relief Society in the lives of Church members, the First Presidency has directed the preparation of Daughters in My Kingdom: The History and Work of Relief Society.

The teachings, stories, and examples in this history book will guide you in establishing priorities and practices in your life that will help increase faith and personal righteousness, strengthen families and homes, and seek out and help those in need.

The history of Relief Society teaches the divine identity and infinite worth of daughters of God. It is a Spirit-filled story of strong, faithful, purposeful women who have served with little public recognition.

As you study this history you will see that our Heavenly Father knows His daughters, that He loves them, that He trusts them with sacred responsibilities, and that He guides them as they fulfill those responsibilities.

You are encouraged to share the book with others. Church members of all ages may use the book as a reference in lessons, talks, council meetings, and at home.

Worth Checking Out

1: "Daughters in My Kingdom: The History and Work of Relief Society" has been completed and will be distributed to all sisters throughout the church. As soon as we receive our copies we will deliver one to each of our sisters. This resource is to be used for teaching in the home, Relief Society and in all church settings.

2. Look for changes to some Visiting Teaching routes which were needed in order to accommodate the new sisters in our Ward.

3. The Mormon Channel has been updated to bring you a variety of wonderful programs. You can listen or watch these programs via the internet. Many "smart phones" now have this capability as well. You can listen to specific Relief Society related topics!

September Visiting Teaching

Strengthening Families by Increasing Spirituality

Julie B. Beck, Relief Society general president, said: “There has grown in me an overwhelming testimony of the value of daughters of God. … I have felt that there has never been a greater need for increased faith and personal righteousness. There has never been a greater need for strong families and homes.”

Sisters can help create strong homes and families as they act on personal revelation. “The ability to qualify for, receive, and act on personal revelation is the single most important skill that can be acquired in this life.Qualifying for the Lord’s Spirit begins with a desire for that Spirit and implies a certain degree of worthiness. Keeping the commandments, repenting, and renewing covenants made at baptism lead to the blessing of always having the Lord’s Spirit with us. Making and keeping temple covenants also adds spiritual strength and power to a woman’s life. Many answers to difficult questions are found by reading the scriptures because the scriptures are an aid to revelation. … Daily prayer is essential to having the Lord’s Spirit with us.”
