Special Communication

I was set apart yesterday in my new capacity as Ward Communications Specialist.  When my duties were first explained to me, it mostly amounted to "take care of the bulletin."  However, the email I got after church yesterday detailed what my responsibilities were actually going to be.

1. Coordinate Sunday Bulletin
⦁ Work with Executive Secretary to get speakers, prayer assignments, and announcements into bulletins each week.
⦁ Print bulletins prior to Sacrament Meeting and provide printed copies to greeters.
2. Email Communications
⦁ Work with Bishopric to develop a strategic communications plan.
⦁ Assist in crafting messages.
⦁ Help send messages when appropriate.
3. Emergency Communications
⦁ Assist Bishopric in devising Emergency Communication Plan.
⦁ Identify resources to enable mass communication system (emails, robo-calls, texts, etc.).
4. Letters to Members
⦁ Assist the Bishop in sending out letters when appropriate.
5. Develop Backup Plans
⦁ Ensure that responsibilities are handled when you must be absent.

That looks an awful lot like the responsibilities for some form of technical writer, doesn't it?  I guess the Lord had plans for me when he sent me to live here.

I'm happy for my new calling and look forward to fulfilling my duties.
