We may not have known them in Nauvoo, but they are our Religious Roots.
This is about a convert living in Utah and experiencing "Pioneer Day" where just about everyone is a Daughter of the Pioneers. I had no connection with the Pioneers. I wasn't a Young, or a Monson, or a Smith. How could I celebrate and relate...especially since I had no friends. I went to the Relief Society event, but I just came for CAKE! I just couldn't relate to Emma and Eliza.
So getting the assignment to write a play for the 170th Birthday of the Relief Society based on the Daughters in my Kingdom book, was just the blessing I needed.

It made me cry. I wanted to feel that way. But Utah was lonely for me. So I decided to research the women of the Female Relief Society of Nauvoo and see if they were friends...I needed them to be friends....that is what I was going to write this play on...the Women.
Well, they did not disappoint. These women were incredible. I didn't have any live friends, but through my research I had 10 dead friends. Truly I dreamt about them. The Lord helped me to write this. I knew when to write and when to research. Meet the Women of Nauvoo. They are incredible.
Please enjoy, use, pass around. The first few pages are the process I went through before and during the writing of the play. It too is worth reading. They want to be remembered! Comment, send me a note if you use it...I would love to know what you think!
With Love,

Just found this skit on Relief Society while looking for a skit on Family History. I'm 2nd Counselor in the Needles California Ward. I would love to use your skit for our next Relief Society birthday, March 2018. It is absolutely fantastic. I'm will be anxiously waiting to hear back from you. If you have any skits that relate to Family History please pass them along to me. I found one a couple of years ago and don't know if I've given it to our Enrichment Leader or not.

DeleteYes!!!
ReplyDeleteI have read through and love "Rooted in Nauvoo" We would be delighted to use it for our upcoming RS birthday celebration next week, but I am wondering if you could send it to me as a document so that I can edit it a little. For our purposes, we would like to make it a little shorter and eliminate some parts (We have a fairly small ward and aren't expecting a very big turnout) my email address is shannonphair@msn.com. If not, I understand, thank you, Shannon
ReplyDeleteSent it to your email. Hope you got it. If you have any issues let me know. Email me directly- kimhansen357@gmail.com.
