    “Gathering Together in the Latter Days” Sister Jean B. Bingham, Relief Society general president Sister Sharon Eubank, first counselor, Relief Society general presidency This address was given Friday, May 1, 2020 at the BYU Women’s Conference © 2020 by Brigham Young University Women’s Conference All rights reserved. For further information, write: BYU Women’s Conference 253 Harman Continuing Education Building Provo, Utah 84602 801-422-7692 Email: [email protected] Website: womensconference.byu.edu SISTER JEAN B. BINGHAM: It is so wonderful to meet with you in this format! We are living examples of the power of gathering despite challenging times. In these past two years, much has been said about gathering Israel on both sides of the veil. In October 2018, President Russell M. Nelson invited every woman to “shape the future by helping to gather Israel.” He reiterated what he had said to the youth the previous June when he declared that “this gathering is the greatest challenge, the greatest cause, and the greatest work on earth today!” What does that mean: “gathering Israel?” Israel is a name for God’s covenant people. That is us—and many others scattered throughout the world who are willing to follow the teachings of the restored gospel and example of Jesus Christ. “Gathering Israel” simply means bringing yourself, your family and other loved ones—either living now or who have passed to the other side of the veil—closer to our Heavenly Father and His Son, our Redeemer. The goal is to unite families who are prepared to live with Them eternally.

  • Gather All Safely in Christ April 30–May 1, 2020 Welcome to BYU Women’S Conference
    Cosponsored by the Relief Society Gather All Safely In Christ April 30–May 1, 2020 Welcome to BYU Women’s Conference Dear Sisters, Welcome to the 2020 Brigham Young University Women’s Conference. We are delighted to have you here, and we thank you for bringing that special “Women’s Conference” spirit of charity and commitment with you. We are very grateful for the co-sponsorship of this conference by the Relief Society. Their guidance and influence in all of our preparations are unparalleled. Together we hope that you will feel answers to your concerns, comfort for your struggles, and encouragement in your efforts. This year’s theme, Gather All Safely In Christ, comes from President Russell M. Nelson’s emphasis on the gathering of scattered Israel in preparation for the Savior’s Second Coming. He has reached out to all of us, daughters of Heavenly Parents, and asked that we do all in our power to assist in bringing our brothers and sisters to Jesus Christ and the blessings of the plan of salvation. In this conference we will explore the many ways we can facilitate this great gathering. We also invite you to respond to our invitation, described on the Women’s Conference website and social media pages, to help illustrate the many ways sisters are contributing to the gathering of Israel. Please share your examples and experiences with us, and we will share them with attendees at Women’s Conference this year. We especially note the second Sister-to-Sister Event on Friday morning as our sister leaders answer questions and concerns from around the world and here at home.

  • Garden Park Ward Newsletter November 8, 2020
    Garden Park Ward Newsletter November 8, 2020 “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life.” John 8:12 In reviewing our ward theme (above) for this year, and pondering world events, I reacquainted myself with a quote from one of my favorite authors, Og Mandino. I hope it reminds you, as it does me, of testimony and love for agency and Light, and with anticipatory patience with our individual and collective growth curves: “I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness for it shows me the stars.” Gratefully, especially during the month that we celebrate Thanksgiving, may we treasure and endure the blessings of triumph and trial that almost always go hand in hand, as God’s plan of Salvation intended. Blessings from Bishop Graham and the Garden Park Ward Bishopric Garden Park Ward Newsletter November 8, 2020 “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life.” John 8:12 Sunday Service Program—November 8st Dear Garden Park Ward, Like many of you, we continue to watch the rising infection rates and want to do all we can to help our community mitigate the spread. We will continue to hold Sacrament Meeting via Zoom broadcast tomorrow, November 8th. Those conducting and offering prayers and talks will be present in the chapel. We know this news is disappointing to some of you, as it is to us, but we hope this approach will allow us all to enjoy a sacrament meeting experience while also reducing risk of infection spread.

So I hope that the four of you can forget for a minute that there are 17,000 people here, and that we can just have an intimate conversation with 17,000 of your best friends listening. And I’m going to mention—instead of introducing you in the very beginning, I will just mention a couple things as we go along about each one of you, if that’s OK. So Sister Jack, let me just start with you. You started serving in 1990 and you served until 1997. And one of the hallmarks of your administration was the unity among the sisters of the world, even though they lived in diverse conditions. And I read that you said, “Every woman in Relief Society matters. Every sister counts. There is a great diversity in our sisterhood, but it’s our commonality that is our faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ.” So I wondered, could you share an example of an extraordinary thing or extraordinary things that have been accomplished by just ordinary women? Sister Elaine L.

President Hinckley had died earlier that week, and people could come and pay their respects at the Conference Center, which was built with his prophetic vision. And they opened the building about six o’clock in the morning and by the time we got there there’s already a big line that goes around the building. So Jordanne and I waited outside in the cold until we could get into the building. And as we walked past his casket where he was lying, she and I were talking a lot about President Hinckley, that he was the only prophet that she had known during her lifetime. And as we filed by, a phrase came into my mind that I have never forgotten, and it said: “I am a friend of the prophets.” And I thought, why did my spirit say that? And what does that mean? I think often about President Hinckley and President Monson and what it means for you and me to live in this time of prophets, seers, and revelators.
