| Dear Brothers and Sisters: |
|
| For your information, beginning the first week of September 2026, the class schedule during Sunday worship will change. |
|
| In the new schedule, sacrament meeting will continue to be no longer than 60 minutes. After a 5‑minute transition, youth and adults will attend a 25‑minute Sunday School class each week. Following another 5‑minute transition, they will attend a 25‑minute priesthood quorum, Relief Society, or Young Women meeting. Primary will continue to meet weekly and will now last 55 minutes. |
|
| Sunday School and Primary classes will study the scriptures using Come, Follow Me—For Home and Church. Elders quorums and Relief Societies will continue to study messages from the most recent general conference. Youth will use a new and expanded edition of For the Strength of Youth: A Guide for Making Choices, supported by material available in Church magazines. Quorums and classes will no longer counsel together about a specific topic prior to these lessons. |
|
| Additional information is available at ChurchofJesusChrist.org. We are confident that members will be blessed by these changes. |
|
| Sincerely yours, |
|
| The First Presidency |
| Dallin H. Oaks |
