The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - Palestine

About this church

Palestine's only Latter-day Saint meetinghouse sits at 4400 N Loop 256, about 31 miles from the nearest other building in Athens. The Palestine Ward gathers there at 10 a.m. for sacrament meeting, an hour of hymns, prayers, the sacrament of bread and water, and talks from members of the congregation, followed by a second hour of classes that closes out by 12 p.m.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does not charge for attendance, and no collection plate is passed at any point in the service. Visitors need not worry about dress; while many longtime members favor Sunday clothing, coming as you are is perfectly acceptable. Wheelchair-accessible entrance, parking, restroom, and seating are all available at the building. Since schedules are decided locally and can be revised year to year, a short phone call before a first Sunday visit is a sensible way to confirm the current time and avoid any confusion.
