Broadcast Schedule Confirmed for Sunday's Temple Dedication
Paris, ID · October 14, 2026
A cool drizzle is hanging over the valley fence lines this morning, just enough to make a warm mug feel essential. Keep a rain shell within arm's reach if you are heading out along Main Street today.
The Lead
Broadcast arrangements were finalized across the Bear Lake Valley following Tuesday’s announcement that President Henry B. Eyring will dedicate the new Montpelier Idaho Temple on Sunday, October 18. Marking the global church's 225th operating temple, the service directly impacts more than 15,000 members across southeastern Idaho, western Wyoming, and northern Utah.
Rather than packing the temple site itself, regional congregations will gather locally. The 10:00 AM dedicatory session and a 2:00 PM rebroadcast will stream live into designated meetinghouses across the district, including chapels throughout the valley. Local ward leaders are setting seating arrangements and testing audiovisual feeds to handle the anticipated crowds. Doors at area meetinghouses will open thirty minutes prior to each broadcast, with patrons requested to take their seats early.

Spotlight & Story
- Paris Photo Studio Tucked on Center Street behind the Browning Block, this 18-by-30-foot shopfront holds a unique distinction: it is the town's sole hollow-tile structure. Built in 1916 by W.N. Clayton as a butcher shop, its facade still features six square upper mezzanine windows.
