A Message from the Salt Lake Temple Celebration Executive Committee

My dear brothers and sisters,

As we approach a truly historic and sacred moment—the Salt Lake Temple Celebration—we have a singular opportunity to help the world rejoice in Christ.

This celebration is not only about the temple’s beauty or its monumental history. It is about inviting more people than ever before to experience the message of Jesus Christ. The Salt Lake Temple Celebration will be unique, with millions of visitors expected and tens of thousands of volunteers needed to create a joyful experience.

To assist you in preparing for this historic and sacred event, we are pleased to provide the Salt Lake Temple Celebration Toolkit. This resource is designed to help leaders and members adapt this opportunity to local needs and do the following:

• Focus local efforts on Jesus Christ
• Engage the rising generation and all people worldwide
• Coordinate efforts for the celebration and related activities
• Strengthen faith and invite others to learn about the blessings of the temple

This toolkit includes communication materials, planning guides, and ideas for local participation.

Together, let us seize this majestic moment to testify that God is among us and invite His children to find Him in His holy house.

With gratitude for your inspired leadership.

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf
