The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been building temples since the 1830s. Temples are considered houses of God, places of holiness and peace separate from the world’s preoccupations. They provide a place where Church members can make formal promises and commitments to God to follow His son, Jesus Christ, and live righteous lives. God promises to bless and strengthen those who stay true to these sacred promises. Learn more about the temples located in North Texas below.

When no one wanted to pray with Macy Holland before her cross country race, little did she know of the influence one simple act of courage to pray alone would have.
Feeling the pressure of the race, the Royse City, Texas resident prayed anyway. Seeking simple comfort to run her own race amongst her peers, this 14 year old of Royse City High School did what she knew best. Macy Holland said: “Personally I’m hard on myself when it comes to sports. Before every race, I try to pray. I was able to run my race and feel comfort and feel His presence and I was able to run my race.”
Although she stood alone, Macy had a friend reach out to her asking if Macy could help her come closer to God. Her cross country teammate did not know where to start. After talking to her mom, Macy felt a huge part of sharing where to start was the Bible and the opportunity to feel God’s love and presence in her life through prayer. The 14 year member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints encouraged her friend that prayer was the best way to build a relationship with God. Although her classmate questioned whether she could feel God’s presence and love, Macy gave her witness:
“At first it might feel awkward at first because you’re not used to it. But I promise you that if ask him how He feels about you that you will feel peace and love. It’s kind of hard to describe the feeling, but once you feel it, it’s hard to dismiss. But eventually after time, you’ll feel it.”
As Susan H. Porter, General President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint youth under 12 said in her April 2024 General Conference Address: “We are important to the Lord, and we are never truly alone.”
Through prayer, we can come to know the truth of Janice Kapp Perry’s song - A Child’s Prayer: “Heavenly Father, are you really there? And do you hear and answer ev’ry child’s prayer?” . . . “Pray, He is there.”

“This week is Teacher appreciation week and after meeting with the Principal and with CCAPP (Concerned Citizens & African American Parents) it was brought to my attention that there was a need at Degan Elementary School
Because of reasons out of the teacher's control, we learned that they probably would not receive much appreciation from the students this week. Well, we could not let that happen. We know how hard teachers work and they deserve to be celebrated more often than they are.
I met with my communications committee at the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and explained the situation to them and within hours we pulled together a plan to support their school and it's teachers.
Donations started pouring in and we got together and put goodie bags together for all 70 of their employees. We showed up this morning and surprised them by decorating their break room with drinks and treats. They were so excited and thankful. The principal, Lashundra Wilson was very appreciative and thankful for what we did in such a short amount if time.
Thank you to everyone who donated, to Linda Williams for bringing this to my attention and to Carolyn Spencer for helping me put the goody bags together.
We love our teachers!”
Thank you to all who helped make the teachers of Degan Elementary feel loved and appreciated! ... See MoreSee Less

Wonderful
Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints joined with those of other faith traditions last week in #ProsperTX for the National Day of Prayer.
Attendees were led in prayer by different faith leaders in the community for the "Seven Centers of Influence": government, military, media, family, church, education, and business. Prosper Mayor David Bristol read a proclamation recognizing May 2, 2024 as a National Day of Prayer.
We love joining hands and hearts with people of all faiths in prayer and worship and are grateful for our religious freedom that allows for such events.
