Spotlight: Exeter Stake Relief Society Presidency Message with Sister Renée Kelly

 

Little did we know when we chose our “Restore and Rejoice” theme at the very beginning of 2020 that the whole world would be looking to restore so much so many months later. This year has proven to be a challenging one in general, yet one with many individual blessings. Historically, for members of The Church Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, this year marks the 200th anniversary of the restoration of the gospel. The results of a simple prayer by a simple boy (JSH 1:15) have reached every corner of the world. For this conference, let’s bring the focus in very close and use the wonderful gifts of the gospel to restore ourselves on a daily basis. It is very much needed!

“Restore all that was hers” (2Kings 8:6) is a promise made in the scriptures and one that is so timely for us all. I invite you to take some time for yourself this coming Friday evening and Saturday morning and attend all that has been prepared for you. Let the inspired messages, art and music restore your soul and renew your faith. Let’s rejoice together as we feel the Lord’s love for each one us.

Much love,
Renée
