Again, for this upcoming April 2018 General Conference, some General Conference sessions will be beamed live via satellite to stake and district centres in the Africa West Area. Other sessions will be available by rebroadcast just a matter of hours after they have taken place.
As a result, Sunday, April 1st, 2018 will be the day when all wards and branches will view a session of the General Conference instead of holding a Sacrament service and Sunday lessons. The broadcasts will occur as follows:
Nigeria and Benin: From 9 am to 11 am on Sunday 1st April, all wards and branches in these countries will receive the Saturday morning session of the General Conference in their stake or district centre. Priesthood holders are invited to then remain to view the Priesthood session of the Conference from noon to 2 pm.
Ghana, Cote d’Ivoire, Togo, Liberia and Sierra Leone: From 8 am to 10 am on Sunday 1st April, all wards and branches in these countries will receive the Saturday morning session of the General Conference in their stake or district centre.
Priesthood holders are invited to then remain to view the Priesthood session of the Conference from 11 am to 1 pm.
Please note that the sacrament will not be administered in any wards or branches on Sunday 1st April 2018, except for those not able to receive the broadcasts. For remote branches where members cannot attend the district centre, and for branches outside mission districts, leaders should set aside Sunday 6th May to view the General Conference DVD which will be sent.
