The Origin:
Sister Sadie Cadman had, from her youth, a wonderful ambition to work for the cause of Christ as a missionary. It was out of this desire, with much prayer and meditation that Sister Sadie Cadman's mind was inspired to do something for the women of the Church and help in spreading the gospel.
In January of 1920 Sister Sadie asked and was granted permission to create an organization for the women of the Church. The decision to call the new organization "The Ladies' Uplift Circle" was given by revelation to Sister Violet Sarver. The sisters felt God prompted this work and they expressed great joy as they discussed their role as women in The Church of Jesus Christ.
The Ladies' Uplift Circle continues to provide opportunities for today's women of the Church to work cooperatively for the missionary and charitable needs of the gospel.
Whenever members of the Circle work together,
a richer fellowship with greater unity of spirit and
purpose will result. |
Aims:
1) To assist The Church of Jesus Christ in its
Mission work, especially among God's
Covenant People, the American Indian,
and also among the Gentiles.
2) To promote a close fellowship among sisters
throughout the Church by praying and sharing
their problems and joys with one another.
3) To attract non-members of the Church.
4) To provide wholesome, beneficial study of
God's Word and opportunities for meaningful
service.
Structure:
Local Circles have been organized within branches
and missions throughout the United States, Canada,
Mexico, India and Africa. The Local Circles report
to their Area Circles. The General Circle is then
composed of the Area and Local Circles with each
being subordinate to the General Circle.
