WardProgram puts your ward's sacrament meeting program on the phone in your pocket, and keeps it there after the meeting ends. Leaders build the program during the week — presiding and conducting, hymns with numbers, prayers, speakers, musical numbers, ward business. Members open the app on Sunday and it's there, whether or not anyone remembered to print. ANNOUNCEMENTS THAT REACH THE RIGHT PEOPLE Ward announcements sit alongside the program, with dates, times, locations, and phone numbers you can tap to call. Send one to the whole ward, or tag it for Relief Society, Elders Quorum, Young Men, or Young Women — and only those members get the notification. Everyone can still read every announcement in the app. The tag only decides whose phone buzzes. Each member controls this for themselves, group by group, on each device. Nobody has to silence the whole ward to stop hearing about an activity that isn't theirs. FOR MEMBERS - This week's program, and the weeks ahead - Announcements with dates - and optional push notifications! - Your ward's missionaries — where they're serving and how to write - Find your ward by scanning its QR code, entering its code, or searching nearby - Follow more than one ward and switch between them - Opens instantly to the last program you saw, which matters on chapel Wi-Fi FOR LEADERS - Build next week's program from a template, or copy last week's - Assign speakers and prayers from your ward list - Hymn numbers link to the music - Three roles: admins manage the ward and team, editors run programs and announcements, and auxiliary leaders submit announcements as drafts for an editor to publish - A print-friendly view for the members who still want paper PRIVACY A ward's program and announcements are visible to that ward. Nothing is sold, nothing is used to track you across other apps, and there are no ads. You can delete your account, and everything attached to it, from inside the app. WardProgram is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
