Why is it so important for us to attend church? There are three main reasons:

1. To renew our covenants

2. To learn the gospel of Jesus Christ 

3. To join a community of believers

The most important reason that we attend church is to renew our covenants by partaking of the sacrament. One of the biggest blessings we receive from partaking of the sacrament is the power to “always have [His] spirit to be with [us].” Wilford Woodruff taught, “Now, if you have the Holy Ghost with you . . . there is no greater gift, there is no greater blessing, there is no greater testimony given to any man on earth.”

The second reason  we should attend Church is to learn more about the gospel. Doctrine and Covenants 43:8 says, “When ye are assembled together ye shall instruct and edify each other, that ye may know . . . how to act upon the points of my law and commandments, which I have given.”

And finally, the last reason we should attend Church is to join a community of believers. We all need friends and people to encourage us on our way. Going to church automatically allows us to integrate into a group of believers who are each on an individual journey of conversion.

With everything going on in the world around us, let us make time to attend church meetings. These meetings enable us to renew our covenants, learn, and be part of a community.
