My Calling as a Stake Relief Society Secretary
Who Do I Work With?
Stake Relief Society Presidency
As a stake Relief Society secretary, you work under the direction of the stake Relief Society president. You support and sustain her as you accept and prayerfully fulfill responsibilities she may delegate to you. You also seek inspiration so that you can use your unique gifts to bless the ward Relief Society secretaries. As you counsel together with the Relief Society presidency and seek to follow the example of the Savior, you will gain insights and inspiration about how best to minister to one another and to those you serve. (See General Handbook: Serving in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 6.7.1–6.7.1.1; 9.5.)
Ward Relief Society Secretaries
Build sincere relationships with the ward Relief Society secretaries in your stake, and love them as the Savior would. As the stake Relief Society secretary, you are a resource for ward Relief Society secretaries, providing ongoing support and encouragement. You have the opportunity to participate in stake Relief Society leadership meetings, where you instruct ward secretaries in their duties.
Stake President
The stake Relief Society presidency meets regularly with the stake president to counsel about stake Relief Society matters. In these meetings they discuss the needs of ward Relief Society leaders and the sisters in the stake. (See General Handbook, 9.5.)
