how to send reminders
So, I've figured out how to sync the calendar into my gmail account. However, I want to sync the calendar so that it sends automatic reminders of all ward/stake events. Under calendar settings, I do have the check box "Allow for email event reminders", but this function does not seem to work. Does anyone know how to make this work?

Re: how to send reminders
I've spit the topic as now you've moved on to a new question.
The send reminders frequently has issues and doesn't always work. Even when it does work, it requires that users allow the calendar to contact them, that they have subscribed to the calendar and have that calendar set to notify them.

Re: how to sync ward calendar into google calendar
Although checking that box is required if you want to receive event reminders, there are other requirements as well; two in your control, and a couple of others that are not in your control.

- You have to be subscribed to the calendar that contains the events; that's fairly obvious and you probably also verified that.
- You also have to have that calendar configured to send notifications (that is done by clicking the >> at the top right of the calendar list). The default is to send notifications, so that's probably already set, but it's worth checking.

Re: how to send reminders
If you just want to be emailed personally about events (as opposed to sending notifications to others about events), there are settings for Google Calendar that you can enable:
