The Tabernacle Choir organization is thrilled to announce the schedule for the return to Temple Square of daily organ recitals, weekly Choir and Bell ensemble rehearsals and Music & the Spoken Word broadcasts. For over 150 years the Salt Lake Tabernacle—and since 2000, the Conference Center—have been the Temple Square locations for live events for music lovers and visitors from around the world. In March 2020, the pandemic temporarily halted all events on Temple Square and around the world.

“Just to see the way everything works out [at Welfare Square] and how the organizational aspect of it, the voluntary aspect of it — it is so impressive and something that I think every religious tradition — and not even faith communities, but everyone — should participate in, and we can learn a lot from the LDS community in this way," Saba Soomekh said after touring the Church's welfare operations and an LDS temple.

The Tabernacle Choir’s 2021 Christmas concert will start airing this week. Here's where you can watch it:

In June 2024, the History of the Saints team, Dennis Lyman and Glenn Rawson are taking a bus tour across the pioneer trail. The first group will travel by bus from Salt Lake, across Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, and finally into Nauvoo. Along the way, they will follow as closely as possible the actual pioneer trail. There will be stops at the Green River, Martin’s Cove, Devils Gate, Casper and the last crossing of the Platte. We will visit, Chimney Rock, Scots Bluff, Fort Laramie, the Guernsey Ruts, and so much more. At Nauvoo, we will spend time in the City and take in the wonderful sites, especially those recently acquired. There will even be time for a temple session. On our last night in Nauvoo, we will walk the Trail of Hope—down Parley Street to the Mississippi River. As the sun goes down, we look out to the west and imagine that trail of 1300 miles before them. The next day we drive into northern Missouri and shift our focus to 1838-39 and the Exodus of Missouri following the Extermination Order of Governor Lilburn W. Boggs. We will visit the Hawn’s Mill martyrdom site, Far West, and Adam-ondi-Ahman. The last hours of the tour are spent at Liberty Jail and Independence. From there the group will fly home and Dennis and Glenn will welcome a new group flying in. The next morning, we reverse the trail all the way back to Salt Lake City.

Each of this year’s locations includes a unique activity like golfing, hiking, or visiting Church historic sites, and each session costs just $50!

Growing up and doing baptisms for the dead, I never thought much about all of the people dressed in white who gave me directions and performed the ordinances in the temple. But these faithful members actually come in a variety of ages and volunteer their time and resources in a miraculous way. Serving in the temple has been a valuable blessing in my life that I didn’t know was a possibility for me to do at this stage of my life. However, I have served as an ordinance worker for over a year and a half now and have seen the blessings in my life as a result of it. Because of this calling, I am frequently asked about what it's like and what I do during my six-hour shift. Here are a few insights and answers to some of the most common questions I've found people wonder about working at the temple.

On September 29, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints around the world were introduced to the new children and youth program during a video presentation.

The life of Emma Hale Smith was complicated. From acting as a scribe for the translation of the Book of Mormon to compiling the first hymnbook to founding the Relief Society, she was a key figure in the Restoration. She was also an anchor for her husband, Joseph Smith, and the love of his life. But how much do you personally know about her role, teachings, and leadership?
