Proposed Temple Ordinance Worker Form

Is there any plan to include this form in MLS to streamline submissions and/or is it available in a Word template format?

Thanks,
Paul

I was thinking this same thing yesterday while filling out 10+ forms for the people in my ward. It would be great to be able to get the information straight from MLS and fill out the rest.

It's come up in our Stake too. Where can I get a copy of that form if not in MLS?

Contact your temple. The forms are not consistent for all temples at this point.

Is this advice still current? Should I contact my temple for such a form?

There is a standard form called the Confidential Report on Proposed Temple Worker form. The process of calling a temple ordinance worker is outlined in Handbook 1, 3.10.1. If this process is followed, the temple president is the only person who needs to have the blank form, because he is the first one who needs to fill it out.

I am aware that a different process is followed in some temple districts.

I believe that carefully following the process in Handbook 1 would provide a magnificent experience for any member who is being considered for calling as a temple ordinance worker.

I just contacted our temple (Chicago), and they were able to email me a pdf version of the form where most of the information can be typed into the form prior to printing. This will save us some time. They did make clear that while they can send us the form electronically, they have no capability to receive the form electronically at this time - they only can receive paper.

Open up a new temple and do this for 300+ in a stake, the tons'o'fun

Is the form still only available from the temple? We just created a new YSA stake and the new stake president is asking that all Bishops have the form.

yes, contact your temple recorder for procedures.. temple recorder is available from cdol.lds.org

It appears the one of the forms can be ordered through the Distribution site. Form number 04768.

Thanks for posting that. It appears that many forms are now available at store.lds.org that were not there previously.

Many of the new forms can be downloaded in PDF form, but the Confidential Report on Proposed Temple Worker can only be ordered on paper at this point. As indicated in this post, your temple might be able to give you a fillable PDF, which might be a helpful option.

Is there any way that we can get the form, from the MLS ? Or we still need to contact the temple?

MLS does not have the form. Either your stake president or the temple will be your source for the best procedure to recommend temple workers in your temple district.

I can't speak for other countries, but in the US, this submission process is totally online. Bishops and stake presidents have access to a special web site through LCR, through which they can recommend members to serve as ordinance workers and volunteers. The last time I checked, neither counselors nor clerks had access to the web site.

My bishop was the one that did my for me this past Sunday, please go to your bishop and inform him.
