Members of the Relief Society, young women turning 18 in 2025, and adult female friends of the Church are invited to participate in a devotional and local testimony meeting on Sunday evening, March 16, 2025, to commemorate the purpose and founding of the Relief Society.

Women are invited to gather locally to watch a 40-minute devotional and then hold a local testimony meeting where sisters can share their faith in Jesus Christ.

In the devotional, Elder Dale G. Renlund will speak from Salt Lake City and the Relief Society General Presidency will speak from the Red Brick Store in Nauvoo, Illinois, where the Relief Society was founded on March 17, 1842.
