HOLINESS TO THE LORD
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

"Clearly, when we baptize, our eyes should gaze beyond the baptismal font to the holy temple. The great garner into which the sheaves should be gathered is the holy temple."
—Neal A. Maxwell

Monument Sign Panels for the Grand Rapids Michigan Temple

The inscribed panels for the monument sign of the Grand Rapids Michigan Temple have been installed. The prominent structure stands along the roadway, directly in line with the temple’s front entrance. Stone veneer panels continue to be added to the front portico, while additional walkways are poured and mulch is spread throughout the garden spaces on the temple grounds. A black ornamental fence surrounds the property.

Tarawa Kiribati Temple Steeple Marks the Skyline

The recently mounted steeple frame atop the Tarawa Kiribati Temple has established the framework for the building's single tower. Exterior cladding panels will enclose the structure, which will be topped with a golden spire. Located on South Tarawa across from the Kiribati House of Parliament, the temple will serve Church members scattered throughout the islands and atolls of the vast central Pacific region.

Londrina Brazil Temple Construction Nearing Completion

The Londrina Brazil Temple is beautifully illuminated against the night sky, highlighting the completed exterior, tall central spire, and landscaped grounds. Exterior lighting accentuates the temple's architectural features and stained-glass windows, while pathway lights trace the curved walkways around the building. The surrounding grounds feature manicured lawns, young palm trees, and planted areas, with circular plazas complementing the network of walkways. The parking lot has also been paved and striped, bringing the site's exterior improvements closer to completion.

Cladding Reaches Top of Lone Mountain Nevada Temple

Precast concrete cladding panels have reached the top of the steeple frame at the Lone Mountain Nevada Temple, extending the exterior finish to the uppermost sections of the tower. Crews are pouring curbs along the roadway, while work continues on the adjacent meetinghouse. Since construction began just over a year ago, the temple has steadily taken shape, forming a beautiful new landmark in northwest Las Vegas.
