Speaking from Salt Lake City, Elder Dale G. Renlund of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, joined by the Relief Society General Presidency — President Camille N. Johnson, Sister J. Anette Dennis, and Sister Kristin M. Yee at the Red Brick Store in Nauvoo, Illinois — will share messages during a devotional streamed on Sunday, March 16, 2025, at 6 p.m. Mountain Standard Time.

Stake or ward Relief Societies are encouraged to gather locally on the evening of March 16 to view the 40-minute devotional. Following the devotional, Relief Societies will have the opportunity to hold a local testimony meeting where sisters can share their faith in Jesus Christ.

Where constraints make gathering at this time difficult, Relief Societies may wish to gather in person at another time. Leaders are also encouraged to stream the devotional and testimony meeting to those who cannot attend in person.

All adult female friends of the Church are invited and welcome to participate and view the devotional. For social posts regarding the event and the messages shared, please use the hashtag #JesusChristIsRelief.
