Sacrament Meeting Program LDS vs LDS Database

The "Sacrament Meeting Program" app provides users a quick, easy way to create their sacrament meeting programs. Then it gives them the option to (1) print traditional paper programs, or (2) give members access to a digital version of the program on their phones. Wards/branches can use this app to create and print traditional paper programs, or they can go 100% paperless saving literally thousands of trees. Benefits This app offers many advantages over the old traditional paper programs, these include: o Automatically formats and creates weekly sacrament meeting programs. o Create both traditional paper programs and digital programs (visible in the app). o Ward and auxiliary leaders can collaborate to add/manage the agenda items, calendar events and announcements in next week's program. o Last minute program changes go live instantly in the digital program. o Hymns and music deep link to the "Sacred Music" mobile app. o Missionaries deep link to the "Called to Serve" mobile app. o Pictures of recent stake/ward activities can be uploaded by auxiliary leaders for members to view and download from the app. Traditional vs Digital Programs 1. Paper Programs – Once the program is created, a PDF version can be downloaded and printed in a traditional, two-page layout. 2. Digital Programs – The digital program can be viewed by scanning a QR code on the bottom of the printed program, or by downloading the Sacrament Meeting Program app and joining your ward/branch group. Each sacrament meeting program is organized into content blocks. The app helps Admins create each block, one at a time. Then it does all of the formatting to create beautifully printed programs. Each week, your Sunday programs are available to print or view digitally. 1.
