Having been involved in enough ward councils and bishopric meetings, I know that this is just another attempt to keep me in the building for three hours on Sunday, as if being there to ring the bell would give me renewed faith by osmosis. He readily admitted to my status as the ward "project."
Could have been worse. You could have been called to be the 11 year old scout leader. Then you would have to attend the entire block (two of which are spent in Primary) plus an additional hour or so during the week and one weekend a year. The other "project" in the ward would be your assistant.
You could reproduce Book of Abraham facsimilies on the chalkboard and pretend it's hangman.
