Share Ward Activities

Sharing ward activities with friends, family, and neighbors is a simple way to love, share, and invite. Pay attention to upcoming activities in your ward and consider who you could invite as an expression of love. For those who join you, welcome them into your Church community.

Activity sharing is a technology available in many wards that helps you more easily invite others to your Church activities and Sunday services. It helps your ward publish activities to a ward web page so that you can share them with others.

If you help plan any of your ward’s activities, consider these four ideas:

1. Plan Activities: When planning activities, think about existing activities the community would be interested in attending.

2. Publish Activities: Create the activity in Church Calendar and identify it as a public event to publish on the ward web page. Remember to use words that others will understand. For example, you can change “Relief Society” to be “a women’s activity” or “sacrament meeting” to “a Sunday worship service.” “Sunday School” could be “a gospel study.”

3. Share and Invite: Consider friends and neighbors to share with and invite, and encourage others in the ward to do the same.

4. Welcome and Love: Welcome friends to your Church community.

For more information about activity sharing, visit ChurchofJesusChrist.org/serve/share/activity-sharing. If you are a ward leader and would like to use this technology, please email [e-mail].

For locations where activity sharing is not available, consider ways to help friends who attend activities.

Make your ward activities interesting and welcoming to all people. Then invite your neighbors and friends to participate. Inviting friends can be simple. Many friends would like to join our activities, so don’t be afraid to invite them, and don’t worry if someone doesn’t accept your offer. Most will be grateful that you thought of them, and others may want to participate in another activity.

When you attend ward activities, look for people you don’t know. Say hello. Welcome them. Take time to get to know them. Make sure they know what is happening and how to best participate in the activity.

Sharing our ward activities is a great way to love, share, and invite in normal and natural ways and help us feel the Spirit and the joy of sharing the gospel.
