Church schedule for December 24, 2023

Can you tell me if the church has made a decision on whether we will have entire meeting schedule on Dec 24, 2023?

Thanks,

Kathleen Magnusson

I have not yet seen any announcement. I believe if things were going to be different than the normal schedule, we would have heard by now. But you never know.

The last time Christmas eve fell on a Sunday was in 2017. The meetings where shortened, and he letter announcing it was at the end of June.

The evidence: viewtopic.php?p=177475#p177475

But that was in the era of the 3-hour block. In the move to the 2 hour block, there there was a push to move meetings to the morning.

Given the fact pattern, I'd expect a normal Sunday on Dec 24, unless the stake president or area presidency announce otherwise.

Sacrament meeting only on Christmas Eve 2023:

Not sure if I'm not allowed to see it or the Official Communication Library is just running behind, but I can't the announcement on there.

If you click on the link I provided above from the Church Newsroom, it allows you to download the bulletin, which will then give you the callings of those who got the bulletin in the Communication Library, or they will. Click on the word "letter" in the 2nd paragraph.

Am not sure why they limited the scope of the bulletin in the Communication Library and then offered it up to anyone, even not logged in, via the Church Newsroom.

Interesting theory, but I see a number of letters that are not "addressed" to my calling. And yet there are letters from the Presiding Bishopric that DO pertain to my calling that I can't see.

I'd be interested in knowing if anyone else can see the letter, or if it just hasn't been posted yet.

And thanks for posting out the breaking news.

With all kindness, whoever or what department is in charge of posting bulletins in the Official Communications section of LCR does seem to have issues from time to time, and once a bulletin is wrong there, it just seems to stay wrong. Some bulletins have simply disappeared, never to be seen again.

I have now. The letter from the First Presidency is dated just three days ago and did not appear at the Church Newsroom until yesterday. Sacrament meeting only on Christmas eve this year.

They do not make it easy to find, but here is a link to a pdf of the actual First Presidency letter courtesy of the Church Newsroom.
