Ward mission plan

Bishop Beecroft and Andrew Poulsen led today's combined lesson with the Relief Society. It was centered on developing a ward mission plan, with the major goal of having each household extend at least one invitation per month to a non-member. The invitation could be to a social event (such as the Yankee Swap or the primary Halloween party), a church service (such as sacrament meeting or a baptism), to a family home evening, or to hear the missionary lessons. Bishop Beecroft said that if every household does this there will be approx. 750 invitations extended to non-members in 2009!
Andrew discussed how each unit of the ward (RS, YW, YM, Primary, EQ, HP, Bishopric) is responsible for creating and planning ways for its members to participate in this ward plan.
Leilani Daines (RS) and Jonathan (EQ) each briefly discussed how their respective groups will be attacking this. Dave Boyce is leading a sub-group in our quorum that will be exploring this in the coming weeks -- more to come!
