Additional RS Meetings and Activities
On September 26, 2009, Sister Julie Beck announced changes that will simplify the RS activities formerly known as "Home, Family and Personal Enrichment". These Relief Society Meetings will focus on three main areas: faith, home/family, and service. Each meeting should be carefully planned using inspiration to meet the needs of sisters in each individual unit.
Please use the menu at left and links below to see Relief Society Meeting ideas, and read below to find out more information on the new guidelines!

I am needing ideas for
I am needing ideas for activities in the homes of elderly sisters in my ward who
are unable to attend our Enrichment meetings and need the companionship of
other sisters in our ward who are also unable to attend Enrichment meetings.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Are these sisters able to
Are these sisters able to attend Sunday church? Are the sisters homebound, or do they just not like to drive at night? If it's a driving issue, you can look into providing rides through the visiting teachers.
Typically, women find a way to attend meetings when they feel they *relate* to the activity. It may be that your Enrichment meetings are not meeting the needs of your elderly sisters. Could you include some of them on your planning committee to encourage attendance? Can you make assignments to them so they feel included and needed? Will they accept assignments when made? All of these are questions that might help you assess what the actual needs of the sisters are.
As for lessons, how about lessons in learning to use the new online extraction programs or Family Search? Quilting, knitting, and other hand crafts are usually popular at this age, too.
If these sisters are truly homebound, it's going to be very difficult to plan group activities because you'll have to transport them as well. What ideas do you have?
