[Ldsoss] Shut-ins and the Sacrament Meeting

[Stacey]

Some comments:

(1) Some time ago when I was living in Utah Valley there was a program 
on the KBYU channel that was a broadcast of some ward's sacrament 
meeting talks.   I saw it a few times when I felt under the weather and 
stayed home from church.   Looking at the KBYU schedule on-line it looks 
like they still may still have this program (look for "Worship Service" 
at 9:30am on Sundays).  Also, this seems to be on BYUTV for those who 
don't get KBYU but have BYUTV on their satellite or cable service.   So 
you could refer your "shut-ins" to this broadcast if they have access.

(2) I don't believe there is anything in the church handbook about 
making audio (and audio only) recordings of sacrament talks.  I recall 
there is something about making video recordings and taking pictures in 
the chapel.  Therefore, it may be make "podcasts" of the sacrament talks 
but I would definitely check with your bishop first.  I am not a bishop 
nor play one on TV.

(3) Your Aaronic priesthood should already be engaged in taking the 
sacrament to these "shut-ins".   I also have them take a copy of our 
ward bulletin so they can read the announcements and other information.

Happy Holidays,
