Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints meet together every Sunday to participate in sacrament meeting (by partaking of the sacrament) and other church services. Visitors are always welcome to worship with us, but what should you expect when you attend an LDS church service? Learn about hymns, prayers, the ordinance of the sacrament (known in some churches as communion), talks, testimonies, and more.
As an investigator have you attended one of our church services before? What was it like? What other tips and information would be helpful for people to know before worshiping with us? Please share your thoughts with us in the comments.

About the Mormons is a fairly new
LDS blog created "to provide uplifting and motivating spiritual content and educate the world about the basic beliefs of members of the church." Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly referred to as Mormons) can share their experiences and
testimonies about
our beliefs while those who are interested in learning about us and what we believe can post questions to be answered. Site visitors can also suggest topics for discussion.
Some topics of interest include "
When and how did you come to know that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the World?" and "
How do you know the Book of Mormon comes from God?"
