Branch Presidencies; Members of Stake and Ward Councils

Copies: General Authorities, General Officers, Area Seventies

Subject: Prayer in Sunday Meetings

Beginning immediately, Sunday School classes and Sunday elders quorum, Relief
Society, Aaronic Priesthood quorum, and Young Women meetings should begin with
a prayer.
“Prayers in Church meetings should be brief, simple, and directed by the Spirit,”
as taught in the General Handbook: Serving in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints. “Any baptized Church member may offer an opening or closing prayer. …
Members should pray using words that express love and respect for Heavenly Father.
In English, this includes using the pronouns Thee, Thy, Thine, and Thou when
addressing Him” (29.6).
