MyWardFamilyWeek 1: meetings and calendars
- Set a regular time for bishopric meeting, ward council and youth council.
- Agree on who conducts sacrament meeting each month.
- Make sure each member of the bishopric has a calendar the executive secretary can book on.
Week 2: people and callings
- Review the callings list in Member Tools or LCR and note openings.
- Start one shared list of callings in progress, with an owner for each.
- List the youth, and when each is due for an interview.
Week 3: Sundays
- Plan sacrament meeting four to six weeks ahead.
- Meet with the music coordinator about hymns.
- Decide where the agenda lives, so there is only one version.
Week 4: habits
- Start every bishopric meeting with last week’s assignments.
- Give the executive secretary everything that needs an appointment, right away.
- Keep confidential matters out of shared notes.
Many new bishoprics set up MyWardFamily in their first week: create the ward in about five minutes, invite counselors and the executive secretary, and plan the first Sunday. See setup.
