Lesson Schedule for Relief Society

How do I post upcoming lessons as a member of the RS Presidency? I can't find a way to do this.

[moderator note: This topic split from a different topic in the General Discussions forum group.]

The lessons are entered in the Relief Society Lessons card on the Home page of the Gospel Library app. Make sure that card is turned on. Then tap the vertical ellipsis menu icon. From there someone else will have to provide what menu item to select since I do not have permissions to add/edit lessons.

How do I find RS lessons or where do I find the Tile I don't see a tile.

Make sure you are logged in with an account that has a MRN attached to it. It may log you out when the program updates.

In addition to russellhltn's recommendation, you may not have the tile turned on. To turn it on in the Android system version tap the Home screen menu icon (vertical ellipsis) and then tap Edit Home. Find the Relief Society Lessons (For 2nd and 4th Sundays) item and tap the On/Off button to the right. If it is off then it will be at the bottom of the page in the More Items section. Once it is turned on it can be moved to any order position in the list of turned on tiles by dragging the tile title to the desired position using the "=" handle to the left of the tile title. The iOS system version may be similar.

I used to have a tile for Relief Society Lesson (maybe 9 months ago), but I don't anymore. It's not in the list of tiles that I can toggle on/off. I have Android OS. Anyone else having this problem?

Just to make sure, scroll to the bottom of the home screen. Click on "Edit home". If you still don't see Relief Society, make sure you're logged in and it's your account.

My Relief Society Lesson tile disappeared too. but it reappeared when I signed out and in again.

I am logged in and I still do not see the relief society lesson tile in the edit home option. Help!

A couple of questions... I found it in the app, but it doesn't allow you to choose a talk from the previous conference, and we have one remaining from that conference this next week. Why doesn't it allow you to change to a previous conference?

Also... why only allow this in a mobile app? Why can't I access this functionality from my computer?

Edit: also, shouldn't you take this page down, since it doesn't work anymore?

Handbook 9.2.1.2 "The focus should be on topics in one or more talks from the most recent general conference."

I don't know the answer, but I do know that the different products function on a different refresh schedule. It may come the next time the relevant web pages are worked on.

I would report that via Feedback at the bottom of the page. I have noticed "dead" pages still hanging around - the real question is there a path to that page from from current active pages? Or did this come up from a search.

This General Handbook update, while not recent, does represent a change from the procedure followed until several years ago where the April and October discussions were taken from topics at the previous October or April conference, respectively. I think this may have been because conference talks were not readily available in near real time as they are now. We used to have to wait for the May Ensign to arrive, for example, before we had access to the April conference talks. We started using the new set of talks in the month following general conference, not in the month the conference was held.

The current General Handbook changes that, and the operation of the Gospel Library app supports that.

Following on with the previous comments, I know historically many RS/EQ Presidencies would select talks from the April Conference for their October lessons, or at least for their first lesson in October (and the same for their April lessons). This allowed teachers (and members) time to review and prepare for that lesson topic, and also gave time for members to receive the printed Liahona at home, and for the talks to all become available digitally. With the recent Handbook changes and corresponding quick-availability of Conference messages online and in the app (not only English but many other languages as well), it seems best to try and leave the lesson for the "second Sunday in a Conference month" as "TBD".

Once GenConf weekend happens, the Presidency decides "quickly" what lesson they want for the following Sunday, and gets that info out to the teacher and the members. And then they can take a bit more time to decide on the remaining lessons for the upcoming six-month period, with the last lesson topic they decide being the 4th Sunday in September/March. A bit more effort, but there's a lot of blessings that come from having the next-week-lesson after General Conference, be a message that is fresh in our minds, and specific to what the Lord would have us hear today.

I just have one question, I am able to add the lesson to the schedule, but is there a way to add WHO is teaching the lesson? We have different teachers that teach for us so it would be nice to put in who is doing that week!

Not currently. You could submit that as feedback.

I am trying to enter the talks for the next 6 months. Would like to know if we can add 5th Sundays and also make notes when we have Stake conference instead of just not entering a talk

This isn't currently possible – your best bet would be to send a feature request in Gospel Library, under Help > Send Feedback.
