SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints says President Bush will meet with its leaders during a trip to Utah next week.

Church spokesmen say Bush will meet with the three-member First Presidency, which includes President Thomas S. Monson, the church's new leader.

President Monson became president of the Church earlier this year after the death of President Gordon B. Hinckley.

Bush is visiting Utah to raise money for Republican presidential candidate John McCain. The Deseret News and The Salt Lake Tribune say the meeting with Church leaders is tentatively set for May 29.
