From the General Handbook
Each ward should have a simple plan for sharing the gospel and strengthening new and returning members. It can help guide meetings, service, and activities. It can include plans and ideas for:
-
Helping everyone feel welcome in ward meetings and activities.
-
Helping members experience the joy of sharing the gospel.
-
Supporting people being taught by the missionaries.
-
Helping new and returning members progress spiritually.
The elders quorum and Relief Society presidents help the ward council create the plan. The ward mission leader also helps. The bishop reviews and approves it.
Members of the ward council take the lead in implementing the plan. They report on progress in ward council meetings. They also update the plan as needed. (Section 23.5.6)
