Have you ever wondered what goes on inside of the meetinghouses of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? See this LDS Newsroom story that explains more about our buildings and what kinds of meetings we hold in them.
As the article explains, our meetinghouses are both places of worship and centers of social activity. We hold service projects, such as blood drives and humanitarian projects; we have scripture study classes and congregational family and youth activities (including dances, sports, and many other activities). (For examples of stories on our website about ward [congregation] activities, see here, here and here.)
You can see some pictures of the inside of LDS meetinghouses here, or take an interactive virtual tour here.
Our meetinghouses are different from our temples. You can learn more about Mormon worship services and what makes chapels and temples different here. If you are interested in learning more about what the inside of temples looks like, or more about temple worship, please see the following Mormon Women articles that have numerous links and resources.

What the Temple Means to Mormons
I so appreciate the peaceful feeling that comes when inside the temple. I always know I am in the right place, doing the right thing when I am there.
