Relief Society Newsletter July 2026
Presidency Message
Hello Sisters -
Happy July! Since we have been talking in Relief Society about having “more Jesus” in our lives, I wanted to share with you the text of one of our new hymns as an inspirational message for this month. Music is a big strength in my life, and the poetry of hymns helps me condense big ideas into a compact package. This hymn helps me feel loved by our Savior. I hope you love it too.

Look Unto Christ - Hymn 1032
When shadows veil your wond’ring mind, Doubt not.
For all who seek will surely find. Doubt not.
One day you’ll see in glory bright the Lord, who led you through the night.
Look unto Christ; receive His light. Doubt not.
Though floods may rise and foes conspire, Fear not.
In blinding gale or circling fire, Fear not.
Look to your Lord, for He is there with wondrous pow’r and tender care.
Go forth in faith; reach out in prayer. Fear not.
When worldly voices mock and scorn, Heed not.
Through tribulation, strength is born. Heed not.
Our Father’s love, the sweetest prize, exceeds the wisdom of the wise.
Look unto Christ, though foes despise. Heed not.
O souls who strive, O hearts that mourn: Press on.
Your path may lead through briar and thorn. Press on.
Someday with joy you shall ascend and kneel before your Lord and Friend.
He walks beside you to the end. Press on.

Family History
Here is a wonderful example of how family history can bless our lives and also help us stay on the covenant path:
“Your worship in the temple and your service there for your ancestors will bless you with increased personal revelation and peace and will fortify your commitment to stay on the covenant path.” (Elder D. Todd Christopherson, "Why the Covenant Path," Gen. Conf. April 2021)
