Atlanta Temple Rededication & Cultural Celebration

This past weekend saw the rededication of the Atlanta, GA Temple: an article with photos and video can be found HERE.  The dedication service on Sunday was inspiring, with thousands of people in attendance, whether at the temple or viewing the live broadcast at chapels throughout Georgia.

On Saturday youth (aged 12-17) in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints performed for President Thomas S. Monson (president of the Church) and a crowd of nearly 3000.  Named Southern Lights, the cultural celebration was a fantastic show full of song, dance and fabulously talented young men and women.

Below are two videos from the Sugar Hill, Georgia Stake.  First are the Young Women performing a salsa and you can see just how much they enjoyed themselves.  The hard work was worth it!




But the show stealers were the Young Men performing a stomp.  Full of energy and fun, they fully deserved the standing ovation they got from the audience.






To you 2700 teenagers who gave up evenings and Saturdays to learn your dances or sing in the choir - thank you!  You made it a night to remember.
