Christmas Lights and the Joy of Serving

November brings the excitement of preparation for Christmas Lights and "Super Saturdays". The members of the surrounding stakes come to the Mesa Temple grounds to participate in the events of the day beginning as early as 6:00 a.m.  Each stake and ward has an assigned area to decorate with lights.

Volunteers gather for instructions
