Our mission service is in the Manhattan Temple located on Columbus Avenue at 66th Street, right at Lincoln Center on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The temple was constructed inside an existing building which sits on a very busy, noisy street. It is insulated from the commotion and clamor of the city, and offers a sweet "refuge from the world" for all those who come to worship there. This photo shows the "celestial room" of the temple. I think the stained glass windows are particularly stunning. We have the opportunity to visit this "heavenly" room every day. We work a seven-hour shift every day the temple is open, typically Tuesday through Saturday each week. We feel incredibly blessed to be able to spend so much time in this sacred space: "The House of the Lord."
