PROVO, Utah -- John Bytheway taught a class for youth titled "The Best Three Hours of the Week: Getting the Most from Your Sunday Meetings" Aug. 19 during BYU Education Week.

Bytheway, an author and part-time instructor of Religious Education at BYU, counseled Mormon youth that the best way to enhance the spirituality of their Sabbath experience is to start by making an objective analysis and evaluation of their own attitudes.

"Fact is, if you change yourself you've automatically changed everything else," he said. "In fact that's the only thing you really can change, is change yourself.



"If you're saying, 'OK, I will get something out of church when it starts when I want it to start, when teachers who are trying to be funny are actually funny, there are no boring speakers and all 2-year-olds sit quietly and ponder the splendors of Zion' -- if you are going to wait for that [then] you're going to wait for a long time."

He taught the bulk of his class utilizing the acronym CHURCH.
