Church can be intimidating and scary and there are many questions for new visitors. Here we are going to try to answer all of these questions, and help your first experience at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints be enjoyable and stress-free. So here is what you need to know:
我會脫穎而出嗎?
It often depends on the size of the congregation, sometimes the congregations are so large that no one might not even notice that you are a visitor. In other congregations, there are so few people that they know each other very personally and would be thrilled to greet you.
無論哪種方式,不要擔心告訴別人你是新人,會眾很樂意支持你並幫助你。
教會的許多成員都是單獨來的,但如果您擔心第一次獨自一人,您可以聯繫我們當地的傳教士。他們會很高興幫助您了解會眾,並且很樂意在聚會期間陪伴您。

穿什麼?
In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, it is common to wear formal attire in symbolic reverence and respect to God. Members commonly go to church in formal attire, but business casual is also welcomed. The point is just to try to look nice. No one will be denied entry to church due to their clothing though.
以下是針對男性和女性的建議:
Men often sport a button-up white-sleeved shirt spotted by a nice tie and slacks.
教堂裡的女性經常穿著漂亮的襯衫和裙子,或者穿著樸素的衣服。
這很常見,但如果您沒有這些衣服,請不要擔心,只需穿上適合您的衣服即可。最重要的是,我們希望在您的體驗期間,您會感到賓至如歸。

多久了?
Church is divided into two parts, the Sacrament meeting and Sunday School. Each of these meetings lasts about one hour, and it is also possible to leave between meetings. So expect from around 1 to 2 hours, but it also is a cultural practice to socialize after the meetings, so be sure to get out there and make some new friends.
會議上會發生什麼?
Church is divided into two meetings, Sacrament meeting, and Sunday School:
Within the Sacrament meeting, a prayer is said, hymns are sung, and talks are given. The most important part of this meeting is the sacrament. Two priests will break and bless bread and water, and they will be served to the congregation. This act is a reminder to members of the Church of the promises they made with God, “that they do always remember him, that they may have his Spirit to be with them.” Visitors are welcome to take the sacrament.
After Sacrament meeting the congregation has a 5-minute break to chat and head to their next class at Sunday school

主日學並不像聽起來那麼學術。這是群體劃分的地方(根據他們的年齡和性別),他們分享他們的經驗,並嘗試一起更多地了解上帝。這次會議更像是小組討論,而不是真正的講座。本次會議的目的是幫助每個人更多地了解和更接近基督。
我必須捐錢嗎?
No, our Church is service-based and we believe that the word of God is free for all. Members frequently donate money in private to provide for the church service, so there is no reason to worry about things!
