Kirtland Temple

Our Come Follow Me study is about the dedication of the Kirtland Temple in Ohio - Craig and In had the pleasure to visit in the fall of 2018 - I love this temple-

KIRTLAND-The First Temple of the Latter Days- Early members of the Church were people with great faith,But in Pennsylvania and New York, they had not been safe.They did not deserve it, but they were often hated.Hunted down. Mistreated. They had to be relocated.Escaping persecution and praying for the best,They gathered in Ohio, hoping there they would be blessed.Arriving with so little, it was hard to start anew.They lived in tents and shacks, and were often hungry, too. They were told to build a temple, and the struggling Saints obeyed; A sacrifice for them, but it was one lovingly made. In three years it was finished, both beautiful and grand; Many hours of devoted time, the work of many hands. Here there would be miracles that angels would attend. Jesus Christ appeared to Brother Joseph and his friend. Moses, Elias and Elijah were the next to come As precious priesthood keys were restored, one by one. It stands today, a monument whose future is secure - The Kirtland Temple’s legacy forever will endure.— by Bonnie Lake Bloomfield, 3/8/24 Art - Kirtland Temple by Walter Rane we loved our visit there-
