For decades, Sunday worship services of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have spanned three hours: one hour with the general congregation for sermons and to partake of sacramental bread and water; one hour for Sunday School classes; and another hour for men, women, and children to break out into their own groups to study and counsel together. Yesterday was officially the last day of this three-hour schedule, and with the new year, the Church is implementing a two-hour Sunday block in favor of more home-centered, Church-supported learning. I'm excited to see what this change will bring--not the least because I have four children under the age of five!
