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.

Check back often for news on the site location and construction progress.

RECENT STAKE ACTIVITIES

Roanoke Virginia Stake Service Project.png

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.

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.

On May 25th, approximately 50 stake members served at The Rescue Mission of Roanoke. We made bagged lunches, chopped veggies, cleaned the chapel & dining areas, watered plants, tested & sorted donated video games, served lunch, helped wth office work, and sorted other donation items. Everyone involved had a wonderful time.
