POCATELLO (KPVI) – About 5,000 youth gathered at the Portneuf Wellness Amphitheater last week for an evening of entertainment in preparation for the opening of the Pocatello Temple for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Latter-day Saint temples differ from the meetinghouses or chapels where members meet for Sunday worship services. A temple is a place where church members go to draw closer to Christ, make promises to serve Him, and to receive added blessings from God. For Latter-day Saints, the crowning experience of the temple is the uniting of marriages and families forever.
