In January of 1920, the General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ granted the women of the Church permission to form an organization for the sisters.
The decision to call the new organization, "The Ladies Uplift Circle" was given by revelation to Sis. Violet Sarver of Monongahela, PA. Two circles were organized at that time, one in Monongahela, PA and the other in Dunlevy, PA.
The Ladies' Uplift Circle held its first General Circle meeting in Monongahela, PA on July 15, 1920. At this meeting the sisters elected Sister Sadie Cadman as President, Sister Mary Wilson as Secretary, Sister Violet Sarver as Treasurer and Sister Marie Sowers as Librarian. They also formulated and accepted a pledge.
The sisters felt the work was prompted by God and they expressed great joy as they discussed their role as women in
The Church of Jesus Christ.

Our Origin
We pledge ourselves to read and search the Scripture and ask God to direct and bless our Ladies' Uplift Circle in every way. We will do our duty in visiting the sick; we will neither find fault nor offend in word or deed, but will be a help to each other and help others to the best of our ability.
