- Represent the Latter-day Saint service members at your location and establish a liaison
with local military authorities.
- Contact the unit commander and the senior chaplain at your deployed location
to receive permission and guidance concerning holding Latter-day Saint services and to
arrange meeting times and a meeting location for the group.
- Provide a copy of your certificate and letter of appointment to the unit
chaplain. This authorizes you to function as the lay leader for the group.
- Identify and contact Church members in your unit and at the same deployed
location. The chaplain may be able to assist in providing a list of those
who have identified themselves as Latter-day Saint on the Alpha Roster.
- Plan and preside over group meetings and activities.
- Conduct a weekly sacrament service to give members of the group the opportunity
to partake of the sacrament. Members should be asked to prepare and give
talks on a gospel topic. Ensure that the dignity of this worship service
is maintained in both word and deed.
- If time and conditions permit, hold Sunday School, priesthood, and Relief
Society meetings.
- When feasible, organize home teaching to ensure that all members of the
group are contacted and strengthened often (daily, if needed) throughout
the deployment period.
