The Malad Stake Relief Society held an activity on March 15 at the Malad Stake Center.  Approximately 180 women aged 14 and up participated in the four workshops that emphasized growth as well as fun.  After an introduction to spiritual growth by Stake Relief Society President, Paula Hannah, Cassie Nimer spoke about her family’s journey to spirituality. Quoting Proverbs 3:4-5, Cassie told about learning to rely on the Lord and acknowledging His help in all things.

Attendees were then divided into three groups that rotated among short workshops emphasizing intellectual growth, physical growth, and social growth. 

Christie Schow led the physical growth workshop, teaching some basic yoga exercises. She said that everyone should do something active every day because we are expected to take care of our bodies.

A ”Jeopardy” spinoff taught about intellectual growth as the participants were divided into four groups that competed to see who knew the most about women in the scriptures.  The activity was led by Ashley Price, Amber Willie, and Rhonda Daniels of the Stake Primary Presidency.

Nacona Smith and Tori Green led the social growth workshop, beginning with demonstrating aggressive, passive, manipulative, and assertive approaches to common social interactions. The participants then participated in a “speed dating” game during which participants faced each other in two lines and asked questions of each other in two minutes before moving to another participant.

Attendees enjoyed visiting while eating a light luncheon at the conclusion of the workshops.
