Elders

In many congregations there may be only one elder asked to care for the specific visiting arrangement and needs of the Elderly and Infirm (E&I), therefore there may only be one name to populate in the elders column. However if it is decided that more than one elder might care for the needs of one or more E&I publishers, enter their names into this column.

Publishers

List the names of all E&I Publishers approved by the Body of Elders to receive regular visits from the congregation.

Report Settings

Using the combo box, select the Starting Month to appear on the generated schedule.
Next, select the Number of Months the generated schedule should include. For example you may choose to select three months to coincide with the quarterly body of elder meetings.
Select the Number of Publishers to receive a weekly visit each month that the selected elder is to oversee.
From the combo box select the Starting Name to be listed first on the generated report. The last name listed on any previous report will influence who will be listed first on the subsequent report you are creating.
