Key Points:
- Starting Sept. 6, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will adjust its Sunday worship schedule to include a 60-minute sacrament meeting, a 25-minute Sunday School class, and weekly meetings for priesthood quorums, Relief Society, and Young Women, while maintaining the Primary schedule for children.
- The new schedule replaces the previous alternating second-hour classes, aiming to strengthen gospel learning by encouraging weekly gatherings for all classes and enhancing spiritual support among members.
- An updated youth curriculum, "For the Strength of Youth," will be introduced for Young Women and Aaronic Priesthood classes, focusing on discipleship, temple preparation, mission readiness, and family-centered teachings.
- Weekly Relief Society and elders quorum meetings will emphasize recent general conference messages to deepen understanding and application of prophetic teachings in daily life.
- Church leaders encourage members to enrich their sacrament meeting worship experience and continue gospel learning primarily centered in the home, with additional resources and training materials to be provided ahead of the changes.
