A typical meeting
- Hymns: Religious songs sung by the congregation (hymn books are provided).
- Prayers: Offered by local Church members.
- Partaking of the sacrament (communion): The sacrament consists of prepared bread and water, which is blessed and passed to members of the congregation by priesthood holders .
- Speakers: Typically a meeting will have two or three assigned speakers.
A plate is not passed to request donations as part of the worship services. The congregation does not participate in recitations, and approval is offered at the end of a talk with a simple, "Amen."
Other Sunday Meetings
- Sunday School classes are offered for each age-group, beginning with 12 year olds.
- Primary meetings consist 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 those 12 through 17 years of age.
- Relief Society meeting is for women, ages 18 years and older.
- Priesthood meetings provide age-oriented classes for males 12 years and older.
