TEMPLES
"For Latter-day Saints, a temple is different from other Church buildings. The temple is a place where Latter-day Saints receive special instruction about God and Jesus Christ. In the temple, members make eternal covenants (or promises) with God. This includes promises to keep the commandments, live the gospel of Jesus Christ, be faithful in marriage, and to help take care of each other by sharing what we have.
Also, because we believe families are forever, much of the work done inside temples is to make family bonds even stronger. Marriages in the temple are performed to last eternally, not just “until death do you part.” Parents and children become eternal families in temples. Ancestors can also receive all the blessings of the temple if someone performs the sacred ordinances in their behalf and they accept that act of service. Temples are busy places!"
The Roanoke Virginia Temple was announced in October 2023.

Stake Young Women's Camp was held at Craig Springs Retreat in New Castle, June 17-21, 2024. The theme was "LOOK UP", which was chosen by a local young woman. Approximately 100 young women attended and the leaders did an amazing job at making camp a spiritual experience for all. The girls were able to build relationships with each other as well as strengthen their relationship with their Savior as they "LOOK UP" to Him.
