Although Sunday is
supposed to be a day of rest, it’s
not always the most restful day of the week for Mormons because, in addition to
simply attending church for three hours, most of us have Sunday assignments to
fulfill: we speak in the worship service, we administer the sacrament, we lead
the singing, we play the organ, we teach adult lessons, we teach youth lessons,
we take care of the children in the nursery, we organize service projects for
the coming week, and so on. And if, like Michael, you preside over a whole
congregation, you also conduct administrative meetings and hold individual
counseling sessions for several hours.
