Our "Gathering As Sisters" post series is designed to help us as sisters within our wards/branches see that we are part of a whole - that across the stake there are other groups of sisters gathering together in activities and service to support & teach one another and develop friendships as they fulfill the purposes of the Relief Society in building faith, strengthening families and providing relief. Each month through the end of this year, we will share one or two highlights from activities within our Relief Societies.
We have truly been blessed with our current Handbook of Instruction that allows each ward/branch to counsel together and then plan with inspiration according to their specific needs. We hope that by sharing some of the wonderful things happening within our wards/branches, we can understand better the individual yet similar needs we share as sisters in the Columbia Maryland Stake.

Our Columbia 2nd Ward Sisters:
In May the Columbia 2nd Relief Society gathered for a dinner and to be uplifted by shared experiences. Their theme was "by their fruits you will know them". Three graduating Laurels and three Relief Society sisters shared personal experiences with standing for truth and righteousness. Their experiences were simple and yet powerful examples of how our daily living of the Gospel and following the Spirit is so important.
