Let the Temple continue to come to life as a sacred center of worship, education, community building, and discipleship preparation for all ages. As these ministries come to fuller expression, receptive congregations in the areas around the Temple and throughout the world will be revived and equipped for more effective ministry.

Community of Christ Sings 390

Onward to Zion, faithful and strong;
Zion the beautiful beckons us on.
Onward and upward battle along;
Zion the beautiful beckons us on.

Onward to Zion, to Christ we belong;
service the watchword we fight against wrong!
Onward to Zion, march with a song;
Zion the beautiful beckons us on.

We have the promise that Jesus will come;
Zion the beautiful beckons us on.
Let us be faithful, his will be done;
Zion the beautiful beckons us on.

Words: Frederick M. Smith, 1874-1946

Prayer Phrase

“a new community…is being born” (Doctrine and Covenants 164:5).

Spiritual Community

Meditate on a time when you experienced true belonging—a moment when someone welcomed you, listened to you, encouraged you, or reminded you that you were not walking the journey of faith alone. Prayerfully consider the qualities that help build a Christ-centered community: hospitality, compassion, forgiveness, patience, courage, joy, and a willingness to walk alongside one another. Offer a prayer of gratitude for the communities that have shaped you and a prayer of commitment to help create spaces where all people can experience the love, peace, and presence of Christ.
