Activity Sharing

The bishop assigns a brother or sister to coordinate the ward activity web page. He may select someone on the ward council, a ward mission leader, a ward missionary, a counselor or secretary in one of the ward organizations, ward executive secretary, ward clerk, or an assistant ward clerk (note that a new or custom calling should not be created for this assignment).

1) Log into church calendar
2) Select the activity you want to check for RSVPs
3) Look for the heading “Responses” and click the button “Show” to view

Check the RSVP report if you want to see the new RSVPs. Currently, an alert is not available to notify ward leadership of new RSVPs.

On the RSVP form, friends can select an option to learn more about our Church community.  If you see this checked on the RSVP report, the local ward/branch is responsible to follow up with the individual.  Please consider following up close to the completion of the activity. 

On the RSVP form, friends can select an option to sign up for weekly inspirational emails.  The local ward/branch does not need to do anything further.  The friend will be automatically enrolled in a weekly inspirational email series.

Any activity or event you feel comfortable inviting neighbors and your community to can be posted. When in doubt, counsel within the organization or quorum presidencies and with your bishopric. Ask for permission before including any personal identifiable information.

Since activity listings are invitations for our friends or neighbors who aren’t familiar with Church terms, you should use descriptive language that would be familiar to anyone (for example: “women’s group” instead of Relief Society, “children’s group” instead of Primary, “discussion” or “presentation” instead of fireside or devotional, Sunday worship service instead of sacrament meeting).

The ability to create and publish activities will only be available through the ward calendar. Stake leadership can share information for planned stake activities with ward leadership to create and publish.

• Activity Sharing allows friends searching online to find activities more easily. Individual activities on Facebook groups are not searchable online.
• Many of these pages and groups are closed groups and focus on a Church member audience. The Activity Sharing pages focus on our community audience.
• Activity Sharing centralizes the public ward activities on a web page, and the ward can continue to use social media to share.
• Activity Sharing allows friends to RSVP, request to learn more about our church community, learn about future activities, and receive inspiring content.

We welcome product feedback and product enhancement suggestions by sending an email to: activitysharing@ChurchofJesusChrist.org.

Currently, English and Spanish are supported for Activity Sharing.  You can submit a request for additional language support by sending an email to: activitysharing@ChurchofJesusChrist.org.

Easter, July 4th, Halloween, and Christmas have strong community interest, and we would recommend units host an activity.
