New Format For Visiting Teaching

This message is available to view in the May 2010 Ensign:

In July 2010 Relief Society sisters and subscribers to the Liahona and Ensign magazines will find a change to the traditional Visiting Teaching Message format.

“We want every visiting teacher to
understand that visiting teaching is a call
from the Lord and accept her assignment
to love, serve, teach, and minister to
another sister with that in mind,” said
Julie B. Beck, Relief Society general
president.

The new message format will help sisters understand the purpose of Relief Society, teach principles to help sisters live the purpose, provide a historical perspective, and offer suggestions on how women can more effectively watch over and strengthen other sisters.

“The Visiting Teaching Message is a tool

in the hands of a visiting teacher. As she studies the messages

with her sisters in mind, she will know what to share

with them and what to do for them,”
Sister Beck said.
