Dear Brothers and Sisters,

As promised in our letter of March 11, 2020, we continue to monitor the changing conditions related to COVID-19 throughout the world. We have considered the counsel of local Church leaders, government officials and medical professionals, and have sought the Lord’s guidance in these matters. We now provide the following updated directions.

Beginning immediately, all public gatherings of Church members are being temporarily suspended worldwide until further notice. This includes:

Stake conferences, leadership conferences and other large gatherings
All public worship services, including sacrament meetings
Branch, ward and stake activities

Where possible, please conduct any essential leadership meetings via technology. Specific questions may be referred to local priesthood leaders. Further direction related to other matters will be provided.

Bishops should counsel with their stake president to determine how to make the sacrament available to members at least once a month.
We encourage members in their ministering efforts to care for one another. We should follow the Savior’s example to bless and lift others.

5. Well now you know THIS IS SERIOUS!

As a former member, I cannot believe this. Good for them. Hmmmm.

6. They are down for the count too

They have instructed Bishops to ensure that members receive the sacrament once a month. They wouldn’t do that if they didn’t anticipate a long time being in this situation.

Former member here too. I’m glad they are doing the right thing, I have lots of LDS family and friends and want them safe and healthy.

7. Same here.

They certainly have the experience to plan for long term anything. I have never seen anything like it. It sounds like the bishops are going to be very busy.
