How can I participate?

To sign up for one of the “extra” sessions (see above), please sign up using the SignUpGenius link distibuted separately via email. Search your email application for “Stake Temple Day - sign up information” to locate the link.
Can my young children participate?

How should I prepare?
Please pray and counsel with your family to work on your family history in order that you may find names to take with you to the temple. What a great Family Home Evening activity! If you have questions, please consult with your Ward Family History consultants.
Refer to the Temple page for information about stake temple recommend interviews.
Other Items to Keep in Mind
The Temple Presidency has also asked us to remind you will need to please bring your own temple clothing--the temple will not be able to provide it.
Please do not sign up a group of people for "extra" ordinance times. This is a courtesy so that as many people as possible will have an opportunity to access the extra sessions and is the same policy as is used in the Church temple reservation system. Thank you!
See you there!
We are very much looking forward to this special day where we can come together in the house of the Lord to perform holy and redeeming work for our ancestors.
"The Lord gives us divine opportunity to become more like Him as we offer proxy saving temple ordinances others need but cannot do for themselves. We become more complete and perfected as we become “saviours … on mount Zion.” As we serve others, the Holy Spirit of Promise can ratify the ordinances and sanctify both giver and receiver. Both giver and receiver can make and deepen transforming covenants, over time receiving the blessings promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob" (Elder Gerrit W. Gong, "Happy and Forever," October 2022 General Conference).
