Temple Baptistry Volunteers Needed

Our stake has the responsibility of staffing the Friday afternoon open baptistry sessions (3 pm-5pm) each week and we need additional volunteers to keep the sessions fully staffed.

To volunteer, please click HERE to sign-up.

Upcoming: Highlands Ranch Temple Consecration Day

 

Brothers and Sisters,

Plan now to make Thursday, November 13 a special Temple day. If possible, try to attend multiple sessions throughout the day/evening.

Go to our web site to register and sign up for specific session times. This will help the Temple plan and staff for the patron’s arrivals, as sessions have limited capacity.

The web site will require you to create a log-on name and password, as it is not linked to your LDS account, but you can use the same credentials if you prefer.

Go to: www.highlandsranchtempleday.org then click "Register."

There will be a box for Family File names of persons that need work done so be sure to check there if you don’t have family file records of your own. If you need help preparing names, check with your ward Family History Consultants.

We look forward to seeing you in the Temple.

Why Mormons Build Temples

Throughout History, the Lord has commanded His people to build temples. Temples are literally houses of the Lord. They are holy places of worship where individuals make sacred promises with God.

In Highlands Ranch, we are lucky enough to live within just  few minutes of the Denver Temple, which is located in Littleton.
