The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

PHOTO OF THE WEEK: Elder @DaleGRenlund of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles greets a Church member before the dedication of the San Luis Potosí Mexico Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in San Luis Potosí, Mexico. As people come to the temple, “they will feel God’s love, they will feel His presence,” he said.

The experiences throughout Dan Patterson’s military career have made him “passionate about the service and ministry that is available to service members” who belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The retired Army lieutenant colonel and manager for Church Military Relations said he is excited for the Church’s continuing efforts to “nourish (see Moroni 6:4) military members of the Church who experience significant life transitions without traditional family and friend support networks.”

The Church strives to minister to military members, veterans and their families through faith, belonging and Christ-centered support wherever they serve. Improved access to resources for military members, their families and the leaders who support them includes a way to recognize military service in the Gospel Tools app and an updated website.

This year, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ production of “Savior of the World: His Birth and Resurrection” on Temple Square will be presented as a concert with performances over two days and a live broadcast, rather than a month-long production of the full musical.

Because of preparations for the 2027 Salt Lake Temple Celebration and the closure of the Conference Center, the sacred musical drama that presents the life, mission and divine nature of Jesus Christ will be a concert version of Act 1, which focuses on the anticipation and celebration of the Savior’s birth.

The “Savior of the World” concert will be held on Friday and Saturday, November 27–28, 2026, in English and ASL in the historic Tabernacle on Temple Square, at 7:30 p.m., with an additional Saturday matinee at 2 p.m. The 70-minute performances are free, but tickets are required. Tickets become available on Tuesday, November 10, at 10 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time.

The concert on November 28 will be streamed live in English and ASL on the Church’s YouTube channel and Broadcast.ChurchofJesusChrist.org and will be available later in Gospel Library.
