Unique Developmental Center Ward Serves Those Who Serve Them

The LDS meetinghouse across the street from the Mt. Timpanogos Utah Temple looks like any other. Inside on Sunday mornings, Aaronic Priesthood holders, dressed in white shirts and ties, pass the sacrament to the congregation. After sacrament meeting concludes, teachers check out materials from the meetinghouse library for classes that follow.

But in so many other ways, the ward that meets there is unlike any other.

The deacons who pass the sacrament may need assistance to make sure a row of pews is not missed. The Sunday School instructors are not regular members living within the established ward boundaries.
