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.

RECENT STAKE ACTIVITIES
The Roanoke Virginia Stake leaders joined other Virginia Stakes in visiting
with the Virginia Delegates and Senators in
Richmond, VA in February 2026.
The purpose was not for legislative reasons, but to create and nurture relationships with our government leaders. We appreciate all of their
time and sacrifice for our citizens.
The day was filled with meetings and
discussions,with lots of fun and laughs.
Our Stake Relief Society (women's group) held a workshop on Finding Joy. We all gathered, learned, and shared ways we can find joy in our daily lives.
In August 2024, we served The Salvation Army of Martinsville. We painted, scrubbed, sorted, repaired, and cleaned as much of their building as possible in about 4 hours. During that time we laughed, told stories, and got to know each other better. We appreciate The Salvation Army of Martinsville and the service they provide to our neighbors and friends. We hope they enjoyed being served for a change.
The Stake Youth Conference was July 11-13 in Palmyra NY. They were able to tour the Sacred Grove, the Smith homestead, the Grandin Printing Press where the Book Of Mormon was published, and more. They were also able to participate in baptisms at the Palmyra Temple. The trip helped solidify their testimonies in the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
