BUENA VISTA, Va. — "Membership in this Church is a call to servant-leadership, and our service can be small but powerful when magnified by the Spirit," said Ardeth G. Kapp, former Young Women general president and lecturer, speaking at the 9th annual Education Conference at the LDS-oriented Southern Virginia University.

"Who we are is for us to discover, and we discover it faster through our own service," she said.

The conference was based on the theme of "Leader-Servants in the Footsteps of the Master," and also focused on the 200th anniversary of the birth of Joseph Smith. About 250 people from the mid-Atlantic region attended the conference held June 10-11.
