Updating Meeting Times

All of our wards need to update their meeting times for the meetinghouse locator and lds.org. I thought I would send a friendly reminder to the ward clerks. I'm not a clerk at this time so I wanted to check on the procedure. Is this still done in MLS?

No, it's done in LCR now. It under Other > Unit Settings in the LCR menu.

Based on this post, it sounds like the stake clerk could do it.

In that post he was asking if a stake clerk could update meetinghouse information. I haven't seen anyone post that a stake clerk can change meeting times.

Stake clerks and assistants can change the meeting times for all units in their stake.

Right. He was saying he couldn't "edit meetinghouse information in LCR... only their meeting times."

Hello, I've updated our ward's new meeting time in LCR. Does anyone know how long it typically takes for it to be reflected in Find a Meetinghouse?

I don't remember if that one is overnight, or 2 nights.

johnpapworth@gmail.com, did you check and see how long it took for the new time to appear? We often get questions like this on the Forum, but once it gets resolved we usually don't get a follow-up response that future Forum members can reference. So if it took a day (or three), let us know!

I changed the meeting times of my ward this week. I forgot to monitor https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/maps/meetinghouses/ every day, but I can tell that it took more than two nights to update the information on maps.

I did some screenshots to help those who like to visualize instructions as I do. I blurred out personal/Ward info. I just edited the time for our meetings due to the new year. Once I know how long it takes for the new time to show, I will edit/reply.

I'd suggest editing the times in the evening of the last Sunday of the year.

Since today (the 26th) is the last Sunday of 2021, I'd suggest editing them tonight.

The idea is to make it late enough that there's no confusion over what the times are for the last Sunday, but give it the maximum amount of time before the first Sunday of the next year.

For the time change to show, it showed up the following day on the Church's website and the Tools App.

There is a unit information, but no unit settings under other in LCR. Can you post a link to the site?

To edit the meeting times go to LCR > Other > Unit Information and click the pencil icon next to Meeting Times. The ward clerk, assistant ward clerk, assistant ward clerk - membership, executive secretary and bishopric can change the meeting times

In the Unit Information, there is the "Meeting Time" with a pencil, meaning you can edit this.
