Primary classes for children are held every Sunday during the second hour.

Members who are unable to attend Sacrament services in person can request a link from Bishop Mike Gravley at 562-212-8641.

The course of study this year is the Book of Mormon. Personal study for the week of April 22-28 should be centered on Mosiah 1-3.

The “Come, Follow Me” Manual says, “In Mosiah 1-3, you will read about a different kind of king. Rather than living off the labors of his people, King Benjamin ‘labored with [his] own hands’ (Mosiah 2:14). Instead of having others serve him, he served his people ‘with all the might, mind and strength which the Lord [had] granted unto [him].’ (Mosiah 2:11).”
