Sunday class meeting schedule adjustments announced

Key Points:

• The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced a new Sunday meeting schedule starting September 2026, consolidating all classes into the second hour instead of alternating weekly, with a total meeting time of two hours including sacrament meeting and various class sessions.
• The new schedule includes one hour for sacrament meeting, 25 minutes for adult and youth Sunday School, 25 minutes for Relief Society, elders quorum, Young Women, and Aaronic Priesthood quorum meetings, plus a five-minute transition between blocks; Primary will meet for 55 minutes during the second hour.
• The First Presidency emphasized that the changes aim to deepen gospel learning, strengthen home study, and increase fellowship and community, while continuing to use established curricula like "Come, Follow Me" and an expanded "For the Strength of Youth" guide.
• Church leaders highlighted that weekly gatherings will enhance spiritual support, testimony strengthening, and discipleship, helping members draw closer to Jesus Christ and each other amid increasing challenges to faith and family.
• These adjustments build on previous changes made in 2019 to reduce Sunday meetings from three hours to two, with the ongoing goal of helping members increase faith, keep covenants, and strengthen families through gospel learning at church and home.
