Gather in Nauvoo for shared meals, morning scripture study, teaching, and worship. The Solemn Assembly takes place at Nauvoo Kirche on Sunday evening. Monday leaves time for sightseeing in Nauvoo or a visit to Adam-ondi-Ahman before the closing ceremony.

We have reserved a private estate in Nauvoo and the historic Nauvoo Kirche for September 19 through 22, and we are gathering during Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the biblical calendar, on the anniversary of Moroni's first visit to Joseph Smith. These dates were chosen with intention. This is a Solemn Assembly, set apart from our other gatherings in its purpose and its tone. We are coming together to cry repentance for the inhabitants of the earth, to prepare for what is coming, and to seek the Lord together as a remnant community in one of the most significant locations in Latter-day Saint history.

What to Expect

  • A Solemn Assembly structure with worship services, a Hosanna Shout, and the blowing of the shofar
  • Scripture study and deep doctrinal teaching anchored in the significance of these dates and this location
  • Teachings on Yom Kippur, solemn assemblies, the regulation of the Church, and the role of the remnant
  • Breakout sessions with Carissa Bales, Lindzi Fitzwater, Rafael Lopez, and Jason Jakobs
  • A pilgrimage walk across the sacred grounds of Nauvoo together
  • Evening testimony gatherings and unhurried space for the Spirit to move
  • All meals provided throughout the event at the Nauvoo Kirche
  • Fifty spots total, shared across spacious bedroom suites with room for families
