Scheduling with the Stake
Please assure that you contact, or ask the individual or family to contact, the appropriate individual depending on the circumstance.
Janet Ellison
Youth & Missionary Scheduling
cell: 801-783-9868
email: jp_ellison@hotmail.com
Responsibilities
- Melchizedek Priesthood elder ordination
- Missionary application submission
- Living ordinance temple recommend interview before mission
- Final interview before missionary setting apart
- Missionary setting apart with family
- Missionary release with family
- Missionary Return and Report meeting with high council
NOTE: Primary responsibility is setting up all appointments related to youth that relate directly or indirectly to serving a mission. This includes setting up interviews and appointments with stake president. Sister Ellison will receive the medical/dental forms and enter required information into the missionary application and assure that the forms (hard copy or soft copy) are available to the stake president. Bishops need to discuss medical/dental information with the candidate, same as the Stake President. Please don’t ask to schedule appointments with the stake president until this medical/dental information is available and has been reviewed with the candidate by the bishop.
Ray Ellison

email: rsellison@gmail.com
Responsibilities
- living ordinance temple recommends for couples getting sealed
- Living ordinance temple recommends (not missionary related)
- Melchizedek Priesthood ordinations (not missionary related)

- Bishop / Stake President appointments
- Appointments with other stake leaders
- Sacrament meetings for stake presidency (including pre-mission and post-mission reports)

NOTE: Primary responsibility is scheduling appointments with the stake president and stake presidency counselors for anything unrelated to missionaries. Since the exec. secretary schedules stake presidency sacrament meeting attendance please make sure he is notified when missionary candidates and return missionaries are speaking. If there is only one such meeting on a given Sunday, the Stake President will try to attend. Otherwise, we try to assure that a stake presidency member attends. If all are otherwise occupied (e.g. ward conferences) then the exec. secretary will ensure a high councilor attends the sacrament meeting.
