The main meeting each Sunday is called sacrament meeting. This meeting consists of songs, prayers, and sermons (or“talks”) given by different members of the congregation every week. But the most important part of the meeting is when we take the sacrament (similar to Communion). When we take the sacrament each week, we promise to always remember Jesus Christ, try our hardest to live as he did, and keep His commandments. The sacrament includes a special prayer to bless the bread—representing Christ’s body—which is then offered to the congregation. Then there isa special prayer for the water—representing Christ’s blood—which is againoffered to the congregation. This is the most reverent part of all our meetings, during whichthe congregation quietly sits and ponders the Savior’s sacrifice. A typical sacrament meeting will have twoor three hymns sung by the entire congregation. There might also be additional musical numbers by a choir, a small group, or a soloist. Music adds a special spirit to our meetings and helps us feel closer to God—even if we sing off-key!
