Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Meetings for the Atherton Ward are held at 6500 E. Atherton St., in Long Beach. The sacrament service is held every Sunday at 10:30 a.m., followed in the second hour by Sunday School on the first and third Sundays, Relief Society and Elders Quorum on the second and fourth Sundays. 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 562-212-864.

The reading source for this year is the New Testament. The reading assignment for the week of May 1-7 is John 7-10, Luke 12-17 and John 11.

The “Come, Follow Me” devotional says that “Although Jesus Christ came to bring peace and good will toward men (John 2:14) there was a division among the people because of him. When the Jews asked Jesus to tell them plainly whether he was the Christ, He revealed a principle that can help us distinguish truth from error: My sheep hear my Voice. As you read these scriptures prayerfully seek what Heavenly Father wants you to know and do.”
