Members who want to attend the Dallas Texas Temple to perform proxy ordinances now have the option to either schedule an appointment or attend without an appointment, where space is available.
As priority will be given to members with appointments, those who attend without an appointment may be asked to wait for an opportunity to participate. As it has always been, appointments will still be necessary for all members who come to receive their own ordinances (endowment and sealing).
You are encouraged to attend the temple as often as your circumstances allow.
You can reserve an appointment on https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org, in the Member Tools app, or by calling the temple. Also you may now schedule multiple appointments for any ordinance in any temple.
At this unprecedented time the Bishop wants everyone to continue reaching out to their ministering families and make sure they are doing well. Please reach out to President Schaack or Sister Taylor if anything needs to be brought to their attention.
Severe Thunderstorm and Lightning Safety Tips:
• If you can hear thunder, you’re close enough to be struck by lightning—find
safe shelter immediately.
• Move to a sturdy building and stay away from the windows (don’t take shelter in a
shed, under isolated trees or in a convertible vehicle).
• If a sturdy shelter is not available, get inside a hardtop vehicle, keep the windows up,
and do not touch metal.
• Get out of boats and away from water.
• Unplug appliances and avoid using the telephone except in an emergency.
