EQP is going to ask for volunteers from the ward and ask for assistance from home teachers and the youth. What if few, if any, volunteers step forward? How much responsibility does EQP have? EQP asked bishopric for feedback, but our (new) Bishop is out of town for the next few weeks (conference and seeing family out in Utah), and the counselors just tossed it back to EQP (all are new in their roles). I want to be of service but I do not want to be moving members during Easter weekend (many of us are converts and Good Friday holds special meaning to us).

Does anyone have any ward guidelines for moving that they could share? A sometimes-active family in our ward has asked for help in moving their family from a second floor apartment to another second floor apartment across town. By way of assistance, they need boxes, trucks and bodies. They want to move on Good Friday because "isn't everyone off Good Friday?" (We live in eastern US, some folks are off on Good Friday but not all). A Good Friday move is necessary for them, as they cannot move Saturday because their child is being baptized on Saturday (yes, during the move). They stated friends and family cannot help them move, so church family must move them. The EQP (new in this role) wants to be of service, but feels like he now "owns" this problem. Any advice? Thanks for allowing me to post this. I enjoy reading the forum.
