“We are members of the Church of Jesus Christ. We are
members of the church of joy! And nowhere should our joy as a people be more
apparent than when we gather together each Sabbath in our sacrament meetings to
worship the source of all joy! Here we assemble with our ward and branch
families to celebrate the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper, our deliverance from
sin and death, and the Saviour’s powerful grace! Here we come to experience the
joy, refuge, forgiveness, thanksgiving, and belonging found through Jesus
Christ! Is this spirit of collective rejoicing in Christ what you find? Is this
what you bring? Maybe you think this doesn’t have much to do with you, or
perhaps you are simply used to how things have always been done. But we can all
contribute, no matter our age or our calling, to making our sacrament meetings
the joy-filled, Christ-focused, welcoming hour they can be, alive with a spirit
of joyful reverence.” – Elder Patrick Kearon
