The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints began reopening its temples in May 2020 using a careful, cautious, four-phase approach to adapt to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Just in time for branches, wards, and stakes to begin scheduling their local 2021 events, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints released the schedule of Churchwide events for 2021.
The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—President Russell M. Nelson, President Dallin H. Oaks, and President Henry B. Eyring released the following Christmas message on Friday, November 27. It was shared across several Church communication channels:
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has officially launched its global 2020 Christmas initiative. Ideas for ways to serve others and light the world during this year’s Christmas season are now available on LightTheWorld.org.
Russell M. Nelson, prophet and president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, will share a special video message with the world on November 20, 2020, at 11 a.m. MST.
The seasonal lights are ready and musical performances are being recorded for the 2020 Christmas season on Temple Square in Salt Lake City. The virtual celebration of the Savior’s birth will be different than what visitors to Temple Square have experienced in the past, but organizers say it will once again be a beautiful and inspirational experience.
