Additionally, “where local circumstances necessitate,” units may begin with Primary and quorum and class meetings and conclude with sacrament meeting, the church said in its press release.
Every age group will continue participating in “Come, Follow Me” lessons, and Sunday School classes will continue using “Come, Follow Me—For Home and Church.”
Also beginning on September 6, Young Women classes and Aaronic Priesthood quorums will use the updated “For the Strength of Youth: A Guide for Making Choices” for their curriculum. Additional supporting content will be provided through the “For the Strength of Youth” magazine, starting with the September 2026 issue.
According to the press release:
“The desired outcomes for youth who study this guide are that they will:
Become lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ with a firm understanding of His gospel.Be prepared for the endowment with a deeper understanding of priesthood ordinances and covenant promises.Be prepared for a mission with a desire to serve the Lord.Be focused on their future family with an understanding that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Father’s plan.Know Jesus Christ is their strength.”
Weekly Relief Society and elders quorum meetings will continue to focus on messages from the most recent general conference, the press release states. “These discussions emphasize understanding prophetic teachings and applying them in daily life.”
