The time has come for us to make ward boundary adjustments within our stake, create a new ward and present some important stake business that will affect every ward.

Prosper 1st, 4th, 5th, and 6th
We invite the Frisco 2nd, 9th and 11th wards and Prosper 2nd & 3rd ward members to attend virtually via the following link:

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.
