HOLINESS TO THE LORD
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

"Regular temple attendance is one of the simplest ways you can bless those who are waiting in the spirit world. If you live near a temple, partake of the opportunity to go often and regularly."
—David B. Haight

Steel Frame Erected for the Birmingham England Temple

Over the several past weeks, the structural steel frame for the 38-meter (124.6-foot) high Birmingham England Temple has been erected, and framing is getting underway for the ancillary building, which will house patron lodging and office space. A total of 251.578 metric tons of steel will be used for the two buildings. The exterior stone has been selected from a supplier in Portugal, and the colors have been finalized.

Cladding the Tower Atop The Anchorage Alaska Temple

The tower that rises over the center of the Anchorage Alaska Temple is currently tented in plastic sheeting, as masons continue to clad the structure with stone panels. The work of cladding the temple's exterior began last spring and is now in the final stages. This new house of the Lord is a replacement for the original temple building, which continues to operate on site. Once the new building is dedicated, the old one will be demolished, and a new meetinghouse will be constructed.

Drilling Wells to Dewater the Heber Valley Utah Temple Site

Approval has been granted by the Utah Division of Water Rights for 20 wells to be drilled at the Heber Valley Utah Temple site to dewater the ground prior to construction. A 2023 study estimated that up to a million gallons of water would need to be pumped every day to prepare the property. A manager at the Utah Geological Survey says that although the number of gallons seems large, the dewatering project is relatively small in scale. The water will be pumped into large tanks and then discharged into Lake Creek, according to the dewatering application.
