HOLINESS TO THE LORD
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

"No jot, iota, or tittle of the temple rites is otherwise than uplifting and sanctifying. In every detail the endowment ceremony contributes to covenants of morality of life, consecration of person to high ideals, devotion to truth, patriotism to nation, and allegiance to God."
—James E. Talmage

Cladding the Willamette Valley Oregon Temple Tower

Cladding of the Willamette Valley Oregon Temple tower in stone has been the focus of the installing crews over the past several weeks. Once completed, the scaffolding will come down and the unfinished areas at the northwest corner of the temple and around the portico can be completed. The temple stands in a picturesque setting near a tree-covered knoll along the McKenzie River.

Adding a Sheathing Layer to the Wichita Kansas Temple

Framing has topped out for the multi-tiered tower atop the Wichita Kansas Temple. It will later be capped with a pyramidal spire and finial. On the main body of the temple, a sheathing layer is being attached to the exterior surfaces of the modules. Hanging brackets will then be attached for securing the cladding panels. Construction has been underway for approximately six months.
