Mill Creek Ward Sacrament Meeting

Sacrament meeting is a central worship service in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and is a key part of the weekly worship experience. The meeting is focused on renewing covenants with God, particularly through partaking of the sacrament. The meeting is held in the chapel and lasts about an hour. During the service, the congregation listens to talks focused on the Savior Jesus Christ given by members of the congregation, sings hymns, and participates in the sacrament. The sacrament involves the blessing and passing of bread and water (rather than wine) by authorized priesthood holders to the congregation. The purpose of partaking of the sacrament is to remember the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and to renew personal covenants made with God. Sacrament meeting is considered a sacred time for spiritual reflection, prayer, and worship, and it plays a central role in the spiritual life of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
