The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - Ray Ward, Gilbert

About this church

Gilbert has twenty-six meetinghouses in the directory, and the one at 1520 S Catalina St is roughly a mile and a half from the closest other building, over the line in Chandler. The Ray Ward, Settler's Meadow Ward and Catalina Ward all share this address, meeting at 9 a.m., 10:30 a.m. and 12 p.m. respectively, which keeps the building in near-constant use from morning through early afternoon. Wheelchair access covers the entrance, the parking lot, the restroom and the seating. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints maintains the property that houses the Ray Ward.

A first-time visitor to any of the three services can expect roughly an hour of hymns, prayers, the sacrament and short talks from ward members, followed by a second hour split into classes, including one for children in Primary. No admission is charged, nothing is collected, and while many attendees dress formally, casual clothing draws no attention. Congregations here are drawn by neighborhood boundaries, which is why three of them stack into one Sunday schedule. Since ward times can shift from one year to the next, a quick phone call ahead of a first visit is a reasonable step.
