I have been hearing the rumors of a change to a two hour church block from the three hour for some time and was a little surprised that the rumor actually turned out to be true. 

I don’t know yet how this will affect my Sunday schedule. Right now, I usually get to the church around 7:15 for the 7:30 bishopric meeting and don’t usually get home until at least 2:00 pm. I hope that these changes will allow us to make it home earlier in the day to spend time with family.

LDS.ORG has the following schedule of how the new schedule will work.

Adjustments at Church

Adjustments to the Church experience are intended to support increased gospel learning and living at home. These changes include adjusting the weekly Sunday schedule to include:

• A 60-minute sacrament meeting,
• A 10-minute transition time,
• And a 50-minute class period,

As outlined in the sample schedule below:

SUNDAY SCHEDULE BEGINNING JANUARY 2019
60 minutes	Sacrament meeting
10 minutes	Transition to classes
50 minutes	Classes for adults	Classes for youth	Primary

The 50-minute class period will include weekly Primary for children and will alternate weekly for youth and adults as follows:

• First and third Sundays: Sunday School.
• Second and fourth Sundays: priesthood quorums, Relief Society, and Young Women.
• Fifth Sundays: youth and adult meetings under the direction of the bishop.

Primary will follow the schedule below. If a Primary is large enough to separate into junior and senior Primary, leaders should reverse the schedule for half of the children and adjust the time as necessary.

PRIMARY SCHEDULE BEGINNING JANUARY 2019
25 minutes	Prayer, scripture or article of faith, talk (5 minutes) Singing time: Music that supports the scriptures studied in class (20 minutes)
5 minutes	Transition to classes
20 minutes	Classes: lesson from Come, Follow Me—For Primary
