California Community Welcomes Construction of Temple

A beloved church in the Yuba-Sutter area of Northern California was the hub of activity in May. Dozens of people pitched in to help a church in their community and their aid, in turn, helped many others in the area.

Wearing face masks amid the COVID-19 pandemic, helpers removed cabinets and doors, furniture, pews and even the gymnasium floor of the Yuba City California Stake Center, a multicongregational house of worship for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The building, which served Latter-day Saints for more than 40 years in the twin cities of Marysville and Yuba City, was razed to make way for what is regarded as the most sacred of structures to members of the faith: a temple.
