The main Sunday worship service, called 'Sacrament Meeting' is just over an hour, usually 70 minutes. This service is similar to most other Christian services with congregational hymns, prayers, passing of the 'sacrament' (communion or Lord's Supper), and sermons.
Following Sacrament Meeting there is an hour-long Sunday School class, with different classes for adults, teens, and children. Following Sunday School there are hour-long focus group lessons, with groups for women (Relief Society), men (Priesthood), teen girls, teen boys, and children (Primary).
Most Mormons are at church for a total of 3 hours on Sunday, more if they hold a leadership position. Visitors are invited to stay for all 3 hours, but we realize that is a long time for church and you are welcome to leave at any time.
