BREAKING NEWS: Church Announces 2022 Schedule for Churchwide Events

Hello again, everyone! As reported by the Church News, the schedule for Churdwide events in 2022 has been officially confirmed. On Sunday January 9, the Church will host 6 devotionals for young adults. which will replace the customary Worldwide Devotional for Young Adults. A worldwide event of some kind will be held for youth at 4:00 PM MST on January 29. At 10:00 AM MST on February 19, the Church will hold a Friend-to-Friend event for Primary children. 

From March 3-5, RootsTech will hold its' 2022 Family History Conference, which likely means the Temple and Family History Leadership Instruction will occur on the first night (a Thursday). The April 2022 General Conference will occur on Saturday and Sunday April 2 and 3 in 5 general sessions. On April 15 and 16, the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square will provide music for the Easter weekend. A worldwide devotional for young adults follows on May 15.

On June 8, the Church will host a Youth Music Festival at 6:00 PM MDT. On Sunday June 25, the Church will host a worldwide devotional focused on sharing the gospel. On July 16, another Friend-to-Friend broadcast will be held for Primary-aged children (which I believe marks the first time that the Church has held more than one Friend-to-Friend event per year).  At some point in mid-to-late July (on or around the 24th), the Tabernacle Choir will have its' annual Pioneer Day Concert.

On August 21, the Church will host the first-of-its'-kind worldwide event for parents, which will be followed on September 11 by a worldwide devotional for young adults. wThe October 2022 General Conference will take place on Saturday and Sunday October 1 and 2, followed by a third and final Friend-to-Friend event on November 4. Closing out the year will be the Sunday December 4 First Presidency's Christmas Devotional  and (I assuime) the Tabernacle Choir's 2022 Christmas Concert.

It's also worth a reminder that I've put together a 2022 schedule of various temple and apostolic milestones I anticipate highlighting here for the next calendar year. There will be a lot to look forward to, even without knowing what major announcements will be made next year, and I look forward to covering all of that as it is reported.

In the meantime, that does it for now. Any and all comments are, as always, welcome and appreciated, on any post at any time, as long as such comments are made in accordance with the established guidelines.

  1. Hello again, everyone! The Church News has published the following three updates:

    Since that last article specifically mentioned that Elder Soares and his wife had a 10-day assignment in their native Sao Paulo Brazil, I am cautiously optimistic that the Church could confirm the location and mame and details, and perhaps even release an exterior rendering, for the Sao Paulo East Brazil Temple. My thanks once again to 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.
