Administration of the Sacrament

What is the Sacrament?

During this ordinance, we partake of bread and water to remember our Savior Jesus Christ's sacrifice of His flesh and blood to renew our sacred covenants. Learn more about the Sacrament (opens in a new tab).

Bearing of Testimonies

What is the Bearing of Testimonies?

In a fast and testimony meeting, there are no assigned speakers or special musical selections. Instead, the person conducting bears a brief testimony. He then invites members of the congregation to bear their testimonies. To bear testimony means to declare gospel truths as inspired by the Holy Ghost.

Closing Hymn: 136 I know That My Redeemer Lives

Benediction: By invitation


Second Hour Classes: Relief Society, Elders Quorum, Young Men, Young Women, and Primary
