Members of the LDS church attend worship services on Sunday. I know that not all Christian churches worship on Sunday and we respect their differences.
Non-members of the LDS faith are generally most startled when attending LDS worship services when they see that there are no crosses displayed in or on the church building. Some consider LDS members to not be Christians, but it's simply not true. The LDS faith celebrates the living Christ and not a dead Christ. We worship on Sunday as a celebration of the day Jesus Christ was resurrected. We believe that Christ is alive and is actively directing his church today.
Non-members are also surprised by the length of the LDS worship services. We attend church on Sunday for generally three hours. Since multiple congregations use a single chapel, some LDS congregations (wards) attend for only 2.5 hours. The three hours of worship are split into three parts with breaks in between: Sacrament Meeting, Sunday School, Auxiliary Classes.
Sacrament Meeting is the most important meeting on Sunday. This meeting is reminiscent of other churches' mass. We partake of the Sacrament and hear talks or testimonies of Christ by members of the congregation. Most weeks the talks are assigned. The first week of every month, the pulpit is open to all members of the congregation to testify of Christ.
Small children attend primary Sunday school lessons for the next two hours, but members of 12-years and up attend Sunday School for an hour. Each year, the lessons are centered on a book of scripture: Old Testament, New Testament, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants.
The third hour is meant for the many auxiliary groups of the church. Young Women is held for girls 12 to 18. They are taught the gospel, given opportunities to serve others, taught craft and home making skills, encouraged in education, and taught to be a good citizen. Young Men is held for boys 12 to 18. They are taught the gospel, encouraged in education, to respect women, taught to be a good citizen, and taught to respect the Aaronic Priesthood that they hold. Relief Society is held for women 18+. The Relief Society is the largest women's humanitarian organization in the world. Men 18+ attend Priesthood meeting where they are taught the gospel and organize themselves in service efforts.
I am grateful for the Sunday meetings. They are a great break from the day-to-day and an opportunity to worship Christ. They are a time when I rededicate myself to the Lord each week.
