Earlier this month, the First Presidency announced a change in the Sunday class schedule, beginning September 6, 2026. Adults and youth will attend Sunday School every week, followed by classes for priesthood quorums, young women, and Relief Society. Lessons in Aaronic Priesthood and Young Women meetings will focus on truths in the updated edition of For the Strength of Youth: A Guide for Making Choices.

This week, the Young Women and Young Men General Presidencies gave more details about the format and content of the Sunday Lessons.

Opening exercises will no longer be held. The meeting will begin with a prayer and then immediately begin the lesson discussion.

• First Sunday (Fast Sunday) lesson will focus on one of the truths listed in that month’s chapter in the For the Strength of Youth: A Guide for Making Choices.
• Second and third Sunday lessons will study the topic further, using an 8-page resource printed monthly in the For the Strength of Youth magazine. See a sneak peak of the September curriculum. This resource contains questions and references that can be used during the discussion time. When there are not four Sundays in the month (such as months that have stake or general conferences), then the second and third Sunday lessons should be combined, so that the youth always experience the first Sunday (fast Sunday) lesson and the last Sunday lesson.
• Last Sunday lesson will be a study of what it means to live as a covenant daughter or son of God. Young women will study the first line of the Young Women theme along with a corresponding statement from the lesson outline each month. Young men will study the first line of the Young Men theme along with a corresponding statement from the lesson outline each month. The classes will then study a story of a woman or man in the scriptures who exemplifies that principle.
• Weekly activity ideas will also appear in the 8-page resource printed monthly in the For the Strength of Youth magazine. At least one activity during the month should relate to the topic studied on Sundays.

So that youth, parents, and leaders have access to this monthly 8-page resource, subscribe now to get your monthly free printed copy of the magazine. You will receive your first magazine 6–8 weeks after subscribing.
