Amen.

Indeed, thank you for your comment!

Jesus christ serve of gospel mission all over the world

What's the ward?

What style is that? Explain. I hope it’s okay to mention this, but I think that some temple styles needed to be redone to better show who we are, and who we were in the early days. But temples are temples. Whatever style they choose, it should be pleasing to the Lord. That’s for sure!!

Beautiful experience, thanks for sharing!

I'm Maori (born in Dannevirke, NZ. Raised in Hastings and Hamilton, NZ. Have lived in Redlands CA since 1988. Thanks for sharing this wonderful memory. Oh, and my mother is from Waimamaku, Hokianga, NZ, up by you.

❤❤❤

That is a wonderful blessing! Thank you for your comment!

An excellent point, but what's happening here is part of the challenge of striking a balance between having nice buildings for all to use, and taking care of the poor. In fact, the church takes great care to ensure they give to the poor all while managing things like this building. One can have nice things, without forgetting the poor. Not that I'm saying more couldn't be done, more could always be done.

@@kenton6804 I understand that line of reasoning to justify the current state of affairs, however the Book of Mormon is very clear that we are off balance. We simply love mammon more than God. That's not my opinion, but a statement of fact from the Lord. We can either choose to believe that and repent, or grab the nearest pacifier and reassure ourselves all is well in Zion.

There must have been a need to have this building here in downtown. They couldn’t just build a shack mid downtown. The church is known worldwide for its humanitarian efforts. Not to worry

@@Avoicecyringinthesuburbs C'mon, man, quit judging the church by saying "we simply love mammon more than God." I've attended church in trailers, and the singing was accompanied by a small programmed synthesizer provided by the church. I've also attended church in a small meeting room used for a lot of other functions; our singing accompaniment was on a small stereo with CDs provided by the church. I've also attended church in a large chapel whose membership reached 800 and there was a pipe organ in front. And just FYI, I've attended conference in the venerable Tabernacle in Salt Lake City. Just because the church provides lots of money (paid to the church by tithes) for meeting houses and temples doesn't mean that WE love money more than God, nor does the church leadership. I live in a SMALL one room apartment, but I still pay my tithes and offerings. And yes, I love my God and my Savior.

@@livinthedream4479 Alma 32 10 Behold I say unto you, do ye suppose that ye cannot worship God save it be in your synagogues only? There really is no need for it, but there are a lot of people in need in the church regardless of the humanitarian efforts made by the church. Again, I am not the one making the accusations, the Prophets and even the Lord himself have made those accusations towards us in our day in the scriptures. The only way around it is to deny God's word.

It does remind me of the chapel and Temple in Manhatten.

Hi, thank you for tuning in and sharing your comment. We hope you know you are always welcome. Visit comeuntochrist.org?cid=42001274 to find a Church unit or meetinghouse near you.

Thank you so much!! 😇

My chapel has natural sunlight and it's beautiful when we have morning 9am church!

It sure is!

We're glad you're here. Thanks for your comment!

You're always invited!

I attended this other chapel you speak of which was consistently full and this new one is very full also - do you believe in God?

Are Catholics and LDS not all Christians? Would a just God turn away the believers of either church? Nope. God looks upon the heart.

The truth is inspiring as opposed to the normal anti-LDS drivel.

Attend some of their meetings and find out

Research it. We spend millions and do a lot to support and help the poor.

Who said that the poor cannot fit in? The church is not for rich people

I'm poor (retired old fart on a LOW fixed income). I live in a one room apartment, drive a seven-year-old TINY car, and attend church in a beautiful church building where I LOVE to attend and am welcomed by EVERYONE in the church. But I do my best to pay my tithes and offerings to help feed other poor people and those disadvantaged. Yes, there are MANY poor people who love the Lord and love to attend church. Money is not an issue.

I was poor for decades, I fit in great!

Au Contraire! The LDS church spends MILLIONS every year to feed the hungry and help the homeless become self-reliant. They own numerous ranches and farms around the globe (called "Welfare Farms") and those foods are used to feed the hungry. Many other countries' leaders have toured the LDS Church's Welfare buildings and systems and have been strongly impressed by them and by how much money goes into food and clothing for the hungry and homeless, and disadvantaged across the globe. Just about EVERY Stake Center has a Bishops' Storehouse used for helping feed the hungry and disadvantaged in their area. Besides, whenever there is a catastrophe ANYWHERE in the world, the LDS church is usually one of the first organizations onsite with truckloads of food, clothing, medicine, water, AND free labor volunteers (called "Helping Hands") and doctors to help alleviate the suffering. Just a tiny bit of advice: learn the facts before you set out to disparage an organization.

I work at a food bank every week and there is always food donated by the church.

So glad!

There are several Veterans' Homes in Salt Lake City.

You could make that a goal for yourself.

It really is!

Nuthin wrong wid that, Govner.

Yes you can do magnificent things with sacred funds.

Tithes and offerings by church members help feed the hungry and disadvantaged. Besides, Utah tax payers' money also goes for the homeless and hungry. I think the church even does more than the State does, but the church can't do it all.

I think you should give more of your money to the poor

There are 2 chapels. 6 wards will meet.

Are from the Left Coast? The East Left Coast? Utah is one of the most beautiful states in the nation: high mountains with many ski resorts, EVERYTHING you need and want is there: concerts, plays, ballet, opera, theaters, scenic drives through beautiful canyons, fishing, hunting, beautiful neighborhoods, great schools and universities. Love it.
