What to Expect at Sunday Meetings Our primary family worship service is called sacrament meeting. This meeting is held in our meetinghouses on Sunday and lasts approximately 70 minutes. Visitors are welcome to attend. It is common for families to attend, and we are accustomed to having children as part of the congregation. A typical meeting would consist of the following: Hymns: Religious songs sung by the congregation (hymn books are provided). Prayers: Offered by local Church members. Partaking of the Sacrament (Communion): The sacrament is passed to members of the congregation. Speakers: Typically a meeting will have two or three assigned speakers. We do not pass a plate to request donations as part of our worship services. Additional Meetings Visitors are also welcome to attend other Sunday meetings that precede or follow sacrament meeting: Sunday School classes are offered for each age-group, beginning with twelve year olds. Primary meetings consist of a group service and age-oriented classes for children three through eleven years of age. A nursery is available for young children, ages eighteen months to three years. Young Women meetings provide classes for those twelve through seventeen years of age. Relief Society meeting is for women, ages eighteen years and older. Priesthood meetings provide age-oriented classes for males twelve years and older. Sacrament meetings and other meetings may be conducted in differing sequences, depending on the preference of local leaders. This site displays the beginning time of the three-hour block of meetings and the starting time of sacrament meeting. Appropriate Dress Those who attend will most likely be wearing their "Sunday best," which may white shirts, suits, and ties for the men and dresses or skirts or sarees for the women. Children also typically dress up for Sunday. Helpful Information Our local congregations are called branches. The spiritual leader of each ward is called the the branch president . He is a member of the congregation who has been asked to serve as a volunteer in this position. Because we have a lay ministry rather than paid clergy, all Church service is voluntary.
