We just had our visiting teaching conference.
When I was asked to put it on, our Relief Society president asked that we reach out and have a spiritual meeting that the inactive sisters might want to come to and gain from. We called it “I CARE ABOUT YOU”.
We sent out invitations with the visiting teachers that were personalized with their sisters’ names. They were told in the invitation that we were having a luncheon in their honor. We then had a program about how we care about them and that the Savior cares about them. Only a few inactives came that day, but some have come out since and I feel that we sent the message out to every sister that we Cared about them personally.
We decorated with blue and yellow, using yellow roses (friendship) that we gave out after it was over. Also, we gave them heart-shaped wooden pins with roses on them. We had a program with songs and narration. I put together a PowerPoint slideshow presentation to go along with the songs with pictures of Christ and other things that illustrated the songs in the program. We used real dishes for the luncheon and had the young women serve us.
It was fun and all who attended felt of each other’s love and the Savior’s love for each of us. I also believe that the sisters got the message that they should care personally for each sister that they visit. If you want a copy of the script or more details please email me and I will send them to you.
