If I asked if you and I can have a conference, what are we doing?
What if our neighborhood has a
conference?
Why? Who? Where?
Obviously, I have questions and few answers! In the routines
of life, I often ponder questions about what I am doing and why I do the things
I expect to do, the things others expect or request of me, what I want to do,
and what I actually can manage to do.
Can I arrange my schedule to accommodate necessary
investments of time, energy, and/or money?
As missionaries we are regularly requested to meet with
trainers and mission leaders. Sometimes the meetings are a conference – a
formal, predetermined time for just 1 or 2 people, or sometimes larger groups,
to discuss or simply share relevant information.
Twice a year, in April and October, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints convenes a General Conference with weekend meetings (sessions) on both Saturday and Sunday. Each session is recorded and available to watch anytime after General Conference. Access prior conferences online.
Anyone can attend in person (about 21,000 seats available) or listen to the presentations online. Church members and friends worldwide will tune in – how many million?
We want to hear, we want to see …
“We believe in the same organization that existed in the
Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists,
and so forth.” 1
Yes, we believe we will hear living prophets and apostles
teach true doctrines of Christ.
We expect to attend all the
sessions – partly in person and partly online.
We also are expected to attend! Since we are in Salt Lake City, at church headquarters, we will physically be present in the building – the ‘Conference Center,’ for at least one session.
Missionaries here have one reserved ticket each, and can request any session. We asked for Sunday afternoon tickets – the final session next weekend, April 4-5, 2026. (We will also listen and watch other sessions – usually snuggled under a blanket on the couch with snacks.)
On Sunday, the
Lord’s Day we will dress in clean, well cared for clothing - our best – not
formal but definitely not casual, to show reverent respect as we worship God, and
listen to His servants.
Who will speak?
What will be said?
We invite you join with us. Come listen, come see, come feel!
