Temple News Update: Cedar City Open House Tours Full (Additional Reservations Coming Soon)/Tour Times Still Available for Meridian Idaho Open House

Hello, everyone! As the title of this blog post indicates, the Church has reported that all open house reservations that have currently been made available for the Cedar City Utah Temple have been filled up. But as mentioned in this article, the Church will be releasing additional reservations very soon.

By contrast, for any wanting to get into the open house for the Meridian Idaho Temple, there are still a number of reservations left. You can find more information on that here.

What an exciting time for the Church to have two temples within the "Mormon corridor" that are having open house reservations available. As mentioned in other posts, the Meridian Idaho Temple open house will start in less than two weeks and will run for the three weeks spanning the Saturdays of October 21 and November 11 (with the exception of Sundays). The cultural celebration will be held one week after the open house concludes, and the very next day (Sunday November 19), that temple will be dedicated.

In the meantime, as has also been previously noted, the open house for the Cedar City Utah Temple will run for the 22-day period spanning Friday October 27 and Saturday November 18. In view of the Thanksgiving holiday and the First Presidency's Christmas Devotional, the cultural celebration will take place 3 weeks after the conclusion of the open house, and the temple will be dedicated the next day (Sunday December 10).

Whatever might happen in regards to those temple dedications, you can depend on my reporting all about the latest developments here. That does it for this post. Any comments are welcome and appreciated. Thank you for the privilege of your time. Until my next post, I wish you all the best and pray the Lord will bless and keep you all.

In addition to my life-long love for the subjects which I cover in the posts of this blog, I have long held the belief that we can disagree without becoming disagreeable. Differences of opinion are natural, while being disagreeable in expressing those differences is not. And in that sense, I have no desire to close the door on anyone who earnestly desires to contribute to the ongoing dialogue on subjects covered in the posts on this blog.

At the same time, however, I recognize that we live in a time when incivility, discourtesy, unkindness, and even cyber-bullying has regrettably become part of online interactions. With that in mind, while anyone who wishes can comment on anything if they choose to do so, I hereby reserve the right to immediately delete any comments which are critical, unkind, lack civility, or promote prodcuts, services, and values contrary to either the Church, or to the rules of online etiquette.

I'd also like to remind all who comment here that I try to respond personally to each individual comment as I feel is appropriate. Such replies are not meant to end the conversation, but to acknowledge earnest feedback as it is submitted.

And in order to better preserve the spirit and pure intentions for which this blog was established, I also hereby request that anyone not commenting with a regular user name (particularly those whose comments appear under the "Unknown" or "Anonymous" monikers, give the rest of us a name to work with in addressing any replies. If such individuals do not wish to disclose their actual given names, a pseudonym or nickname would suffice.

Any comments made by individuals who opt to not give a name by which they can ber identified may, depending on the substance and tone of such comments, be subject to deletion as well. I would respectfully ask that all of us do all we can to keep the dialogue positive, polite, and without malice or ill-will. May the Lord bless us all in our discussion of these important matters.
