Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Meetings for the Atherton Ward are held at 6500 E. Atherton St., Long Beach.

The Sacrament service is held every Sunday at 9 a.m. This is followed in the second hour by Sunday School on the first and third Sundays, with Relief Society and Elders Quorum meetings on the second and fourth Sundays. Primary classes for children are held every Sunday during the second hour.

Masks are still required for all meetings. Members who are unable to attend Sacrament service in person can request to receive a link from Bishop Jonathan Brimley at (562) 716-8309 to watch the services.

Sunday, March 6, will be Fast Sunday. The course of study in Sunday school this year is the Old Testament. March 7-13 will focus on Genesis chapters 37-41. The book of Genesis reveals how important families are to the Father in Heaven. In these chapters, people can read about the challenges faced by husbands and wives, parents and children, plus Patriarchs with their nephews and nieces. Their family problems are no different than the ones people face now. Believers are admonished to focus on the family; as President David O. McKay said, “No success in life can compensate for failure in the family.”
