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.
Biological Incident
A biological incident occurs with an accidental or intentional (bioterrorism) release of a biological agent. These agents may be relatively harmless or may cause serious illness and/or death. Biological agents can affect humans, pets, livestock, and/or the environment.
Unlike an explosion, a biological incident may happen secretly and may not be easy to detect.
Most people will learn about a biological or bioterrorism incident through information they hear or read in the news or social media.
Should a biological incident occur near you, follow the directions of local emergency management and public health officials.
Watch TV, listen to the radio, or check the internet for official news, including the following:
What group or area the authorities consider to be in danger
The signs and symptoms of the disease
Information on the distribution of medications or vaccines, including the location and who should get them
Where to seek emergency medical care if you become sick
Pay attention to your own health and that of your family just as you do now. In addition:
Practice good hygiene and cleanliness to avoid spreading germs.
Report any unusual symptoms or illnesses right away to your doctor and local public health department.
