"The bishop holds the priesthood keys for administering the sacrament in the ward. All who participate in preparing, blessing, and passing the sacrament must receive approval from him or someone under his direction." - General Handbook 18.9.1
As of June 6, 2021 Bishop Ashby is still broadly authorizing worthy priesthood holders in the ward to administer the sacrament in their homes and the homes of ministering families if they are uncomfortable attending sacrament meeting in person due to COVID-19 . In coming months, this will return to the normal pattern which requires bishop's approval for each situation.
- Worthy teachers, priests, and Melchizedek Priesthood holders may prepare the sacrament.
- Worthy priests and Melchizedek Priesthood holders may bless the sacrament.
- Worthy deacons, teachers, priests, and Melchizedek Priesthood holders may pass the sacrament.
- The Sacrament Prayers can be found in the Gospel Library app or church website under the section "Jesus Christ."
- Detailed instructions about the ordinance of the sacrament can be found in Section 18.9 of the General Handbook.
- Worthy ministering brothers may administer the sacrament to families in their ministering groups or others in the ward as they request following the above guidelines.
