Hello again, everyone! In yet another check of the Church's official website, I discovered some more information has been released about some of the early Church-related events that will be held during the first several months of 2018. Read ahead for more on that.
On Sunday January 14, 2018, the first of the Church's three Worldwide Devotionals for Young Adults will be held. The featured speakers will be President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Second Counselor in the First Presidency and his wife, Sister Harriet R. Uchtdorf.
While a speaker will be announced in the future, we know that the 2018 Evening with a General Authority (which will be held for seminary and institute instructors, CES employees, and their spouses) will be held Friday January 26, 2018.
The first Face-to-Face event for youth in 2018 will feature President Russell M. Nelson, President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, and his wife, Sister Wendy W. Nelson, and will be held on Saturday February 3 (the same day when the First Presidency will mark a decade of service together).
Exactly four weeks later, on Saturday March 3, the RootsTech Family Discovery Day will be held for Family History enthusiasts. Selected leaders and general officers of the Church, who will be announced at a later date, will be featured.
As already announced, the open house for the renovated Jordan River Utah Temple will be held from Saturday March 17- Saturday April 28, with the cultural celebration on May 19, and the rededication on Sunday May 20.
The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square will present a sing-along of Handel's Messiah on March 23. In the meantime, April General Conference will be held on Saturday and Sunday March 31 and April 1.
Over a month later, the second Worldwide Devotional for Young Adults will be held on May 6, with the speaker announced at a later date. The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square will be holding their annual Pioneer Day Concert on Saturday July 21, 2018.
Rounding out the year will be the already-announced third Worldwide Devotional for Young Adults on September 9, 2018, General Conference on October 6 and 7 (which will feature the Women's Session on that Saturday for the first time) and the First Presidency's Christmas Devotional held on December 2, 2018.
Already, with what is known, 2018 will be a great year for the Church. I am, of course, keeping my eyes open for any additional information on any of these events, and also for temple-related events during the year as well, and will be passing all of that along as I am able to.
That does it for this post. Any comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated. Thank you for the privilege of your time. Until my next post, I wish each one of you all the best and pray that the Lord will bless you all in all that you do.

More Information Given for 2018 Church-related Events
I have had a lifelong love for Church history, which has extended to ongoing reports of the ministry of our apostles and prophets, General Conference, and all temple developments. This blog enables me to share that love with all who read my thoughts on these developments, which are sometimes reported multiple times per day as needed.

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.
