I believe Dave’s comment defined what we are experiencing and feeling. I do question how does this help minister to the one? I have seen in my ward where one or two of people do a lot more work to keep the others involved in their circle with some either feeling left out don’t want to be bothered by it.

The idea of “ministering circles” may be coming from a well-meaning place, perhaps an effort to ensure connection or organization, but if it starts feeling like a return to rigid structure, like checklists or assigned group responsibilities rather than individual, Spirit-directed ministering, it may not align with what leadership intended. It feels like assignments made for convenience, not inspiration. There is also a Lack of follow-up or support from Relief Society presidency. “Circles” feel like cliques or are too big to be personal. The gap has been communicated in our ward but has fallen on deaf ears.
