SALT LAKE CITY — For the second time in under eight years, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is significantly changing the way Sunday meetings will take place.
In October 2018, LDS Church leaders announced that the total service would run for two hours instead of three. This meant alternating Sunday School and Priesthood/Relief Society/Young Women each week. The change became effective in January 2019.
On Monday, the church announced that starting Sept. 6, local wards will hold both Sunday School and the above-mentioned meetings every week, but for just 25 minutes each.
Sacrament Meetings will continue to be one hour long.
After the 2018 change, there was a 10-minute transition time between Sacrament Meeting and individual classes. There will now be a 5-minute break between the three different meetings.
Primary and nursery, which are for children under the age of 12, will now be 55 minutes long instead of 50.
