2027 · A Year of the Temple

One by One

One step. One name. One friend.

Resources for the Paisley Stake of Zion: a film, guides for ward and branch councils, posters, the youth tour T-shirts, and everything you need to share them. Free to download and use.

The idea

Three circles, one by one

Our Area Presidency has invited us to make 2027 a Year of the Temple: drawing closer to Jesus Christ through His holy house. In Paisley Stake we answer in three simple words. Like a stone dropped into still water, it begins with one, and ripples outward. All three circles run all year, for everyone.

Myself

One step.

What is my next step towards the temple?

A first recommend, a return after years away, or a steadier place in His house.

My ancestors

One name.

Whom in my family can I serve?

Not a research course. One name, one story, one ordinance.

My friends

One friend.

Whom can I prayerfully help?

Not only to invite, but to walk beside them, all the way to the temple doors.

For ward and branch councils

Preparing together

Start here. The council kit has two November council meetings ready to use, the six questions, who does what, December ideas and announcement wording. The December card is for families to take home.

For the youth

The 2027 tour T-shirt

A band's tour shirt carries the tour dates on the back. Ours has a list the youth fill in themselves: the names of the ancestors they find and take to the temple for baptism in 2027, written in fabric marker. By the end of the year, every shirt tells a story, one name at a time. Three draft designs:

T-shirt concept A · The 2027 Tour

T-shirt concept C · Paisley to Preston

Ancestors' names only, from the young person's own family tree. Use a permanent fabric marker and heat-set with a dry iron through a cloth. Print files are 12 in wide, all text outlined, three inks.

Posters

Four A3 posters

Print-ready PDFs at A3. One for the stake, and one for each circle.

What the mark means, the colours, type and how it was chosen, with all four posters.

Three ripples spreading from one person. Navy: one step, myself. Gold: one name, my ancestors. Soft blue: one friend, my friends. Please don't recolour, stretch or redraw the mark, and never place it beside the Church's logo.
