Our Bishop said that last year for ward conference we were told to not use initials in names on sustaining list? He is not sure exactly. Our Ward Conference is this next Sunday so I need to let ward clerk know. Any help appreciated.

OK, Techgy and Alan, it's all clear as mud!! No really your comments help a lot and do answer my questions. I have been holding off on using the email broadcast feature after hearing some horror stories but it does not appear to be as bad now. When I was checking this all out I must have checked som...

Which email function are you referring to? There's the broadcast that's available in the web admin mode (which techgy has described), and then there's the "email leadership" function.

I tried again after the first of the year, putting in a January 13th effective date (one week out) did a send/receive and...

So how did it go? Anyway this is a great idea. The training at the Linger Longer event went better than I had hoped. I signed up six more members and gave out at least a dozen handouts explaining how a person could sign up themselves at home. The ward clerk was handy to get members membership numbe...

Our ward is meeting in the third slot this year, 1 pm to 4 pm. On the 5th Sundays we will be having a Linger Longer event nafter church. A light meal and a short program from primary and some displays. I will be setting up my laptop and showing people what the ward website looks like, instructing th...
