The exciting news yesterday was that the date for the Sacramento California Temple has been announced: Sunday 3 September 2006. There will be an open house for the public starting 29 July through 26 August 2006. So if you aren’t LDS and have an interest in see the temple contact one of your LDS friends and let them know. It isn’t clear yet if you’ll need tickets or just show up for the open house. Now that the date has been announced I expect the next few months will provide for greater details.

If you are curious how the construction is going they still have the Sacramento Temple webcam up. I hope to swing by there sometime this week to take a few more pictures.

Sacramento Temple 3 September 2005Last Saturday (3 Sep 2005) Sarah, Alice, Abby (Philpott’s 5 year old daughter) and I made the short 15 minute drive up to construction site of the Sacramento Temple. The picture on the left is from that trip. Work seems to be progressing nicely, with the frame of the building providing a good idea of how big it will be. The Sacramento Temple Webcam is still up and taking pictures if you want to see the progress in greater detail.

I haven’t heard anything about an official opening date yet, I’m guessing it will be during summer 2006.
