That was probably a normal Sunday service. The entire family is invited to
the Sacrament meeting; I've noticed that many other denominations invite
only people from, say, young adult ages and up to their services.

LOL -- What can I say? You should've eaten beforehand. :-, Mormon moms with
toddlers are famous for bringing little baggies full of dry Cheerios for their
young'uns.
I was quite surprised when I attended my uncle's Episcopalian service in that
the entire meeting (including hymns, sermon, sacrament, and prayer) lasted
just under an hour. However, as you pointed out, our Sacrament meeting only
takes about an hour; after that, the classes tend to be less sermon and more
interaction.

They do, but they're not free like the single books are, and they tend to be
treated as heirlooms. You can get all kinds of varieties, depening upon the
printer. The most common ones are:
o the "triple" combination (Book of Mormon, Doctorine and Covenants, and
Pearl of Great Price) which is usually bundled with another book containing
the Old and New Testaments of the King James Bible and an extremely
comprehensive index;
o and the more recent "quad" with all the above-mentioned books in one book,
usually in smaller print and thinner pages;
o and then there are the InfoBase versions, all on one tidy CD-ROM.
