Ideas for Reactivating Sisters

"If inactivity is the problem, then seek out the sisters who do not attend and let them give you the reasons they are not coming. Only the inactive people know why they do not come. And once they can be heard—really listened to—and the leaders begin to respond to what they actually say, then a solution is probably very close. Local Relief Societies can make sure that the meeting rooms are attractive, that the lessons are good, that the atmosphere is friendly, and that the spirit of love pervades, especially to those who are being introduced to Relief Society or reactivated." (1)

Be the Example

Many times the top two reasons people quit going to an activity is from either feeling left out or they were offended in some way. Most will not say something, they will just quietly quit coming.

Here is a story to illustrate this example. A sister went to a church scrapbooking group in her new ward. She was excited to meet new sisters and form new friendships. Everyone appeared friendly when she first came and set up her supplies.

However, the conversation turned ugly and they began to gossip about people they’ve known in the past who were receiving church assistance and how they felt that they were undeserving of it for this and that reason. This sister had hard times in the past and with the help from the church they worked past those times. She didn’t say anything, but was sad and offended at the judgmental conversation of these sisters. Later, the sister who was the most outspoken became the Relief Society President. While this sister did quit coming to the main church meetings, she did quit coming to the church activities in that ward to avoid future negative conversation.

While we can’t control everyone or anything and situations will surely arise at some point where someone is offended without the offending person having any intention of doing so, we can try to keep the atmosphere as light and loving as possible. When we show unconditional love, it is love without bounds or judgment.

Love them Back

No matter the reason the sister goes inactive, love her unconditionally. In another example, one sister took another sister under her wing and loved unconditionally her through her inactivity. She called this inactive sister every Sunday that she wasn’t there and told her how much she missed her. She would come to her house some Sunday’s to encourage and help her get her children and belongings to church. If the sister resisted, she agreed respectfully and told her she’d call her soon. She called often and shared her testimony and love whenever she had the opportunity. Some days this sister would come out to her car to find a note on her windshield with encouraging thoughts. She loved this sister back into activity. I’m sure there were many times she felt quiet discouragement when the sister resisted, but she never gave up.

Whatever position in Relief Society you are in, be it a Visiting Teacher or Relief Society President, we can each try to find that sister who needs the love in her life. She may not return to activity at this time- and that’s okay- at least you can show her unconditional Christ-like love. You may never know how far reaching that loving kindness can go.
