I scheduled a ton of family events and parties. I believe you for sure, but where I am at, the ward buildings are morgues. They look like haunted houses outside of Sunday’s and Wednesday’s. Sometimes when I drive by I try to look in the window and hope to see a creepy ghost because that’s about the only activity I can expect. 2

Our building is closed on Mondays. The Family History Centre is open half days on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Our ward has Mutual Tuesday evenings. The other ward has Mutual Wednesday evenings. Institute is also on Wednesdays. We have self-reliance courses on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Faith in God for our ward is on Mutual night, but the other ward has theirs on Saturday mornings. Stake sports nights are Fridays. The missionaries have their district meetings on Friday mornings. Basketball is early Saturday mornings. Church cleaning happens later on Saturdays. Sundays are full of the usual, including choir practices and firesides. And this is all before various family events like birthday parties and baby showers.

Seems like a lot of us have been building schedulers. 10 hours ago, bluebell said: We’re obviously the cool kids. I second that. I'm not sure it has anything to do with being a building scheduler, but you and Cal are definitely cool kids. 2

Even when our building isn't being used for personal stuff, it's still busy most week nights just with YM, YW, Scouts, activity days, and RS. If I need to go by the church to get into the YW's closet for something during an evening, I don't even bother taking my keys with me because I know it'll already be open from someone else doing something. Part of that is because we have three wards in our building. Do you guys only have one ward? Where does your ward hold all of their weekly meetings/activities?

On 11/4/2018 at 9:41 PM, Hamba Tuhan said: Just pageants. And as you can see from the update above, only some of them. Under President Nelson, those youth cultural events associated with temple dedications are a thing of the past, as one can observe from Church News coverage of the recent temple dedication in Chile, which notes a “shift away” from those traditional cultural events.

I've heard we don't know if the pageant will continue and that part of the plans with the new landscaping are designs to make things better for the pageant. This is an Easter pageant rather than a Book of Mormon one. Just updating what I heard last night from our RS presidency about the Mesa temple and pageant. There is a couple who have been called to oversee the whole construction bit. He is in construction and is over that. She has written at least one book and will be writing a book that goes along with it somehow (didn't get the details). People are able to make appointments and come meet with her (and him if he is available). There you can learn the different things that are happening. This is what some of our RS presidency did along with others. So on topic with the thread: Mesa will keep their pageant. Something (more permanent if I understand correctly) is being constructed for it. The 2 big reasons why this one is being kept: 1. It is completely Christ centered. 2. Participants are local people. One other thing related, but not about the pageant - we've talked here about different requirements the church has of the construction workers. No swearing, no smoking etc. Besides explaining the sacred nature of it, Mesa (I don't know if all temples do it or not) has cookie day. I think one day each week. Each ward takes a turn and does something like a 100 dozen homemade cookies. These are bagged up and given to the construction workers. The workers love it and it has done a lot for how they feel about the strict rules of how to act on the grounds. They look forward to it every week. 5
2BizE Posted October 18, 2019 Posted October 18, 2019 Do you think they will scale back in general conference? Make it annual instead of semi-annual?
