Ward Temple Dates

We encourage everyone to have a Temple experience during the ward Temple week in whatever capacity they can. It can be as simple as a family home evening on the temple, visiting the temple grounds, joining the ward family history challenge every week, or anything that draws our thoughts and hearts to the temple and to our Savior. 

Temple Night: TBA (Payson Temple)

Upcoming sealing dates:

• • TBA (Payson Temple) Typically on a Friday night

If you can make it to one of the the sealing sessions listed please call or text Brother Lyman (801-794-2191)

Spanish Fields 1st Ward Vision

We are sons and daughters of Heavenly Parents with a divine call to gather scattered Israel on both sides of the veil.  Through the atonement of our Savior, we can repent and improve each day. Eternal joy and peace are found by obedience to His commandments, making sacred covenants, and receiving the blessings of the holy temple.

Our ward family is unified as we seek and act upon spiritual promptings and minister to others. We strive to live the gospel by using our individual talents to strengthen and help one another come unto Christ.

Payson Temple Update

To ensure that the Payson Utah Temple can provide a sanctifying and revelatory experience for all who come, the Payson Utah Temple Presidency has shared guidelines specific to the Payson Utah Temple that may be helpful to assist members.

1. Baptistry: This is the area with the least availability for members without appointments. The capacity for the baptistry remains at 12 every half hour. At any given appointment time, there may only be 1-3 openings available. These openings will best serve small families and individuals, not a large youth group. We invite youth groups to continue to make appointments ahead of time. Additionally, we request youth groups to cancel appointments that they are not able to make so others may take those slots.  

When there is a change in the number of patrons coming, we encourage members to edit their appointment. If they need assistance, they may call the temple office.  We also ask that leaders do not bring more than the reserved number of participants. In accordance with the First Presidency direction, we should not reduce the number of baptisms or confirmations each individual can perform to accommodate additional patrons.

2. Proxy Initiatory: If a patron arrives without an appointment and desires to perform Initiatory ordinances, they will be directed to the office where the recorder or office staff will assist them in checking the availability. In some instances, there may be a slight wait until the next available appointment. They will be provided with information on the approximate waiting time.

3. Proxy Endowment: When a patron comes to the temple without an appointment, they will be notified of the availability on the next Endowment Session. We anticipate that the Payson Utah Temple will be able to accommodate patrons without an appointment for Proxy Endowment sessions, especially during the weekday.

4. Proxy Sealing: If a patron comes to the temple without an appointment desiring to do Sealings, they will be directed to the office where the temple staff will assist them in finding availability.

5. Group Proxy Sealing: Families and groups who desire to schedule a large group sealing session may call the office to schedule one. These will be available Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings at 5:30 PM; 6:30 PM; and 7:30 PM.

It is important to stress to the members that making an appointment for temple attendance remains the preferred method. The recent announcement on accommodating patrons without an appointment should not be interpreted as appointments are no longer required.
