	Sacrament meeting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sacrament meetings are held in individual wards or branches in the chapel of the meetinghouse.
		Sacrament meetings are not held during stake or district conferences, or during the semi-annual general conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
		Following the administration of the sacrament, various sermons, or talks, are delivered by assigned members of the congregation, visiting officials such as Stake high council members or a member of the stake presidency.

	Sacrament Meeting
		The meeting opens with the bishop addressing the membership, and recognizing any guests from outside the ward who will be a speaker (Stake President, High Council member, etc.) Next he announces what hymn will be sung to open up the meeting and who will give the opening prayer.
		Underneath is the bread and water used for the passing of the sacrament.
		At the end of the meeting the bishop closes with some remarks and then he announces what hymn will be sung to close the meeting and who will give the closing prayer.

	What is Sacrament Meeting? - LDS Families
		Sacrament Meeting is held weekly and is the basic church service.
		Its primary purpose is to allow members to take the sacrament of bread and water, (much like the bread and wine communions of other churches.) We partake of the sacrament to renew our commitment to the promises we made when we were baptized and to remember the atonement of Christ.
		A hymn is sung by the congregation to focus attention on the purpose of the sacrament.

	Vigor - Advice & Commentary on Mormon Life - Issue 14 / June 1997
		We've all been at meetings where, among a group of teenagers seated on the stand, there are at least one or two who can't keep from poking and joking, visually distracting the whole congregation from the speaker and making a mockery of the whole proceeding.
		Parents who train their children to have contempt for sacrament meeting are training them to be uncivilized throughout their lives -- to be discourteous, easily distracted, inattentive, careless, selfish, unhappy, and generally lacking in the skills needed to earn the love and respect of other people.
		But when you use sacrament meeting as the occasion to begin civilizing your toddler, you are requiring of the child only that he control those natural impulses for a little over an hour, one day a week.

	7. Meetings
		Church meetings are held to worship, pray, renew covenants, perform ordinances, teach and exhort, sing, conduct business, and strengthen associations as brothers and sisters in the gospel.
		Each sacrament meeting should be a spiritual experience in which members of the Church renew their baptismal covenants by partaking of the sacrament.
		Before the sacrament, a member of the stake presidency or a designated priesthood officer uses the Officers Sustained form (prepared by a ward clerk) to present the names of Church officers to ward members for their sustaining vote.

	Feminist Mormon Housewives » Does the Spirit Leave at a Set Time?
		In sacrament meeting or otherwise, adhering to a schedule is a simple act of interpersonal respect.
		There is an expectation that the meeting will end at 5 after, 5 ’til, or on the hour (I can’t remember which…) and to carry beyond that without prior notice is inconsiderate of the expectations of those attending (especially the moms of restless children!).
		Sacrament meeting for them is as much challenge as it is spiritual feast, and lengthening that challenge doesn’t improve it.

	On The Prince of Peace
		The sacrament is an integral part of the plan of salvation and is directly tied to the Atonement.
		Sacrament meeting is not Sunday School and a Sacrament meeting talk is not a Sunday School lesson.
		I have recently come to appreciate that because a Sacrament meeting talk is an act of worship designed to bring the Spirit into the lives of the congregation, it should be delivered as an act of worship.

	Times & Seasons » The Principle of Non-Distraction
		Sacrament meeting is the wrong time to intentionally make people uncomfortable (unless you are the bishop and decide otherwise).
		And their meetings were conducted by the church after the manner of the workings of the Spirit, and by the power of the Holy Ghost; for as the power of the Holy Ghost led them whether to preach, or to exhort, or to pray, or to supplicate, or to sing, even so it was done.

	Feminist Mormon Housewives » Why does the church not celebrate Christmas and Easter?
		Sacrament Meetings are usually fine, but I’d never bring a friend on the most important days of the Christian calendar, as they’d probably come away with the impression we didn’t care too much about Christ’s birth or death.
		My single favorite Christmas sacrament meeting was like that, with an beautiful spin: the ward choir sang selections from Handel’s “Messiah,” in between which a different member spoke briefly and movingly about the birth of Christ — in their own life.
		Of course, it’s a 2-hour sacrament meeting, so I’m not sure how this is going to be any easier on the chlldren than the regular 3-hour block of classes.

		Changes in the handbook allow for music besides a standard hymn or Church magazine song to be performed in Sacrament - provided that a member of the bishopric pre-approve it to ensure the proper spirit.
		Of course, the main reason for Sacrament music is to spiritually uplift the Saints and help them experience the Spirit of the Lord.
		And as you well know, there is nothing like music to push doctrinal and scriptural ideas from the mind to the heart where it can make a more lasting impression.

	Meridian Magazine :: Articles: The Seven Deadly Sins of Sacrament Meeting Talks
		Although these sins are often committed in sacrament meeting talks, they are rarely, if ever, committed by general authorities at conference time. General authorities appreciate the importance of preparation and their role in the meeting. By following their examples, speakers will discover that their talks are more spiritual, informative and appropriate.
		Providing such an excuse harms the credibility of the speaker. Some speakers may take you at your word that because you had inadequate time to prepare, your talk will be inadequate. Although the talk may actually be terrific, the speaker may have already lost some of his or her audience.
		Members are blessed with multiple opportunities in their lifetime to speak in Sacrament meeting to hundreds of people. With such opportunity, however, comes a sacred responsibility to prepare spiritual, thoughtful and appropriate messages. By keeping these seven commandments in mind, a speaker can help ensure that he delivers just such a message.

	Times & Seasons » Endocannibalism in Sacrament Meeting
		The sacrament translates this into the context of Christ’s atonement and the bread and the wine (water) now become a ritual meal that recapitulates our flight from the slavery of sin and death to the freedom of redemption and resurrection through the passion of Christ.
		The sacrament is the fruits of the horrors of the atonement, but not itself horrible.
		My point is that the sacrament to me represents the great joy that is ours because of what He suffered, and the privilege that is mine, and ours, to have a knowledge of that and partake of it in its fulness.
