Where is it you go?
I have attended wards on Easter Sunday as well as other Sundays where the name of Jesus is not mentioned.
I listened to tapes from last year at a “Christmas” last year, in a 15 minute tape Jesus was mentioned once at 8.5 minutes and only once.
Jeff, you may not actually be going to lds wards or your ward is not actually lds.

Svcw, Jesus Chist is mentioned in every LDS sacrament meeting, which is the main congregational meeting where the sacrament is taken and blessed. The blessing prayers are the same in every Ward, and are all about Jesus Christ, mentioning Him by name and taking the bread and water in remembrance of the sacrifice of His body and blood for our salvation. Happens in every sacrament meeting, followed by mini-sermons given by members who have been called to do so with a week or so preparation.

There are opening songs, a pre-sacrament song (which is always about Christ) and then a closing song.

Most of the talks are Christ centered, but not all...they may be about family life, or morality, or other teachings of Christ or his Apostles.

I have experienced this in Wards all over the country and have myself been in Bishoprics twice, have been priesthood quorum leaders, Sunday school teachers, etc., etc. Believe me, I know that they are actually “LDS” Wards.
