The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - Desert Palms Ward, Phoenix

About this church

Phoenix, Arizona lists 21 meetinghouses of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and this one, at 8602 N 31st Ave, has another just 2.1 miles away. The building is busiest around 10 a.m., with Sunday activity running from 9 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., and it offers an accessible entrance, parking, restroom and seating.

Desert Palms Ward meets first, at 9 a.m., and Black Canyon Ward follows with sacrament meeting at 11:15, inside a block that runs from 10:05 to 12:15. Two wards sharing one building like this reflects how congregations are drawn along neighborhood lines. A sacrament meeting generally lasts about an hour, opening with hymns and prayer, moving through the sacrament of bread and water, and closing with talks from members, before a second hour of classes and Primary for children begins. There's no cost to attend, and no plate is passed for donations. Because local schedules shift from time to time, a quick phone check before a first visit is worth doing.
