We invite you to come and worship with us.
Services are held every Sunday, and visitors are always
welcome. As soon as you enter the building, please
introduce yourself to one of the members of the
congregation. He or she will help you feel welcome
and introduce you to other members.
Sunday Service
Our main family worship service is called sacrament
meeting. This meeting is held in our chapels and
lasts approximately 70 minutes. Visitors are
welcomed to attend. It is common for families to
attend, and we are accustomed to having children as part
of the congregation.
A typical meeting will 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. We offer:
- Sunday
School classes for each age-group, beginning with 12
year- olds
- Primary
meetings consisting of a group service and age-oriented
classes for children 3 through 11 years of age
- A
nursery is available for young children, ages 18
months to 3 years
- Young
Women meetings provide classes for girls ages 12 to
17 years of age
- Relief
Society meeting is for women, ages 18 years and
older
- Priesthood

years and older
You
are welcome to attend any part or all of our meetings on
Sunday.
Appropriate
Dress
Those who attend will most likely be wearing their
"Sunday best", which may include white (or
other colored) dress shirts and ties for men and dresses or skirts for women.
Children also typically dress up for Sunday.
Helpful
Information
Our local congregations are called wards or branches.
The spiritual leader of each ward is called the bishop
(or branch president for branches). 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 a paid clergy, all Church service
is voluntary.
