The week of every third Saturday will be our ward's temple week. Our next ward temple night will be Saturday May 18 at 7pm. If you cannot make this night please try and attend any session that week at the temple. Please don't forget that you need to sign up for a reservation. The Dallas Temple will be closed for maintenance from April 15-May 9. We will not have a ward temple night in April due to the temple being closed.
If you are working with youth and have not taken the church's Youth Protection Training in the past three years, please follow this link to take the class. It takes about 30 minutes.
Please click on the link for the month of April Primary newsletter.
We have a live video feed for our meeting today. However, due to the sacred nature of the sacrament we won’t broadcast the ordinance of the sacrament. The zoom link to the live video feed is below. Any questions or issues please reach out to Brother Creel.

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.
