What is the Aaronic Priesthood quorum meeting?

The Aaronic Priesthood quorum meeting is a weekly meeting attended by all members of the quorum.

What is the purpose of this meeting?

There are four purposes of this meeting:

• Prepare young men for priesthood service.
• Teach and learn the gospel and priesthood duties and principles.
• Conduct quorum business, such as plans for activities, service projects, and fellowshipping quorum members.
• Build unity and brotherhood. (See "Aaronic Priesthood," book 2 in the Church Handbook of Instructions, Book 2: Priesthood and Auxiliary Leaders [1998], 185.)
