Frequently Asked Questions About The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Can anyone attend Church services?
Yes! Jesus Christ invites all people to come unto Him. As stated on the signage outside the meetinghouse: “Visitors Welcome.”
What time does your Church meet on Sunday? How long are Church services?
COVID: Church services typically last one hour. NON-COVID: Church services typically last two hours. The first hour consists of a worship service for everyone and the second hour of different classes for children, youth and adults.
What can I expect at your Church worship service?
The Church meeting always starts with a welcome and announcements from one of the lay leaders. Next, an opening song by the congregation and prayer offered by one of the members is followed by another hymn while the communion in remembrance of Jesus Christ is prepared and distributed to those who desire to receive it. Then, one or two of the members of the congregation (including youth and children) give talks--sometimes a musical number is performed by a member of the congregation or choir. The lay leader gives some brief concluding words followed by a closing song and prayer. On just the first Sunday of each month the members of the Church fast for the poor and needy. Instead of speakers a few members of the congregation choose to share their feelings with the others about Jesus Christ and how grateful they are for him.
