And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem. And the king went up into the house of the Lord, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the Lord.
And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.

2026 Prosper Stake Temple
& Family History Celestial Cup
For July 2026, the activity is to organize a family temple trip. Have each family member find a name to take to the temple. If you're on vacation, this is a perfect opportunity to include a temple visit in the location you're visiting — and add it to your summer memories. If your children aren't old enough to go to the temple, include them in the name search so the whole family can be part of the activity.
See other monthly activities for 2026 below.
Beginning September 6, 2026, the following schedule will be adopted for Sunday services. For more information, read the church's news release.
