Share Ward Activities and Sunday Services with Your Community

Sharing ward activities and Sunday worship services 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.

Use Activity Sharing Technology to Help You Share

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 public ward web page so you can share them with others.

Church members can easily share these activities through SMS, Facebook, WhatsApp, X, and other social channels. These public web pages work together with social media channels. The social media channels can increase awareness of the activities, and the public web page allows all of the event information to be centralized and searchable.

5 Steps to Effectively Share Activities

1. Find Your Ward Web Page and Share

Your ward page is a place to find out about what’s going on in your ward. These are things you can share with your community. To find it:

  1. Visit My Home and sign in (upper right-hand corner).

  2. Once you sign in, you should see the “View Ward Page” link next to your name and ward. Click this to access your ward activity sharing page.

  3. If that link is not there, you can make a request for activity sharing through your stake president here.

    OR

  4. Go to maps.ChurchofJesusChrist.org. Type in the name of your ward in the search box and click on your ward name. Look for the Activity Sharing link and click the link to access your public ward web page.

2. Plan Activities with the Community in Mind

When planning activities, think about existing activities the community would be interested in attending. Use simple, welcoming language. For example:

  • “Relief Society” → “women’s activity”

  • “Sacrament meeting” → “Sunday worship service”

  • “Sunday School” → “gospel study”

3. An Assigned Member Publishes Activities

An assigned member creates and publishes the event in the Church Calender and marks it as a public event.

Individuals with the following ward callings can create and publish activities:

  • Bishopric (including the ward and assistant clerks and ward executive secretary)

  • Members of the ward council (including their counselors and secretary)

  • Ward mission leader

  • Ward missionaries (for bishoprics who want to assign a member of the ward outside the ward council, ensure that person is designated as a ward missionary in LCR under Callings)

Individuals with the following stake callings can create activities and publish them to each ward web page:

  • Stake presidency (including clerks and secretaries)

  • Stake high councilors

  • Stake communication director

  • Stake assistant communication director

  • Stake communication specialist

  • Stake Relief Society presidency (including secretaries)

  • Stake Young Men presidency

  • Stake Young Women presidency

  • Stake Sunday School presidency

  • Stake Primary presidency

  • Stake technology specialist

4. Invite Friends and Neighbors

Consider sharing with friends and neighbors, and encourage others in the ward to do the same. Don’t hesitate to invite friends and neighbors with a simple invitation. Most people appreciate being thought of, even if they can’t attend. Many are eager to participate when invited.

5. Welcome and Love

When guests attend, greet them with warmth. Help them feel comfortable and included in your Church community. At every activity:

  • Look for people you don’t know.

  • Say hello and introduce yourself.

  • Help them understand what’s happening and how to participate.

Ward social and service activities ... could knit us together with even greater belonging and unity. ... Enjoyable gospel activities also [allow us to] invite neighbors and friends.
