Hi all, it’s Valerie from Occasionally Crafty! 2018 is truly the year of change, isn’t it? Our latest General Conference was no exception. Our leaders announced a change to a more home-centered, church-supported focus of learning by shortening our block of Sunday meetings. Relief Society and other “3rd hour meetings” will now alternate with Sunday School, and our time meeting together as wards will be shortened.
Members of the Relief Society presidency take turns conducting each meeting. With so much information to share, and even less time to do so, staying focused and organized is more important than ever! How can we better use our time and get to the important part of church– the gospel discussions? To help you prepare for 2019, I have created a NEW Relief Society Conducting Sheet, carefully following the guidelines in conducting announced by the First Presidency.
This conducting sheet allows for the following changes: no more scheduled hymns or opening prayer, a reminder of the Come Follow Me–For Individuals and Families study topic each week, and a discussion topic for each meeting.
Simple black and white makes this easy to print and copy for all the members of your Presidency. This is a great job for your secretary to do.

There are many people who announce birthdays, the following week’s discussion topic, and other more specific things. While you could add these in, consider Elder Cook’s advice. He suggests we use a midweek reminder through email, text, or social media to take care of some of your extra business!
I know I’m posting this early, but with a busy few months ahead, sometimes you need to strike while the iron’s hot!
How are you feeling about the big changes? What are you most excited about? If you use my printable, I’d love it if you pin it or tag me on Instagram!
Here’s to an exciting new year ahead!

I love this. Could you please post a copy of one with “Teacher” instead of “Facilitator”
I understand starting the first of the year we are to have teachers. Or perhaps you could email me a copy that is able to be edited.
Thanks so much!
The file has been updated with the word “Teacher” instead of “Facilitator”. I can’t make any other changes due to time constraints, but I’m sure you can create something that works for you if mine doesn’t1
This is so cute!!! Thanks for sharing your talents. Is there anyway to get an editable version or change “Facilitator” to “Teacher”? The church has asked, in the instructions they sent, to no longer use the term faciliator or discussion leader etc. when referring to our teachers.

Awesome!! Thanks so much 😊
VALERIE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THE ANNOUNCEMENT PAGE. AWESOME. WE WILL USE IT. I HAVE PRINTED SOME FOR MY PRESIDENCY. LUZ WALLER
I love your agenda but we meet as Relief Society first because we are combined with a Chinese ward for our Primary and YM/YW. We have sacrament meeting last so we are starting with an opening prayer. Is there anyway I can edit or you can change one for those of us that are in that situation. Thank you.
This is exactly what I sat down to create on my own today. It would have not been as perfect as yours. So, thank you!!!! I appreciate it. Please add me to your emails.
As a new presidency, this is exactly what I am in need of to help me know what the Sunday outline needs to look like according to what has been directed. I downloaded it and still notice the word facilitator used. I know you mentioned you changed it…?
Hmmm, I just tried it from my phone and mine says Teacher on it. Not sure what’s going on there. Shoot me an email at info@occasionallycrafty.com and I can send it to you directly.
