The 2026 Church Music Festival, “Love Without End,” was a celebration of music of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in a variety of ways. The concert Saturday, Nov. 7, in the Salt Lake Tabernacle on Temple Square included more than 300 singers and musicians — many traveled from across the country to be in the Tabernacle or performed via submitted videos. Songs were performed by choirs, soloists, duets and small groups. Styles included contemporary, strings, gospel, jazz and Latin. More than half the program featured new hymns that have been published digitally in the Church’s new hymnbook, “Hymns for Home and Church.” Singing in the festival allowed Maddy Cook, a Utah State University student who sang in a combined institute choir, to worship Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ with hundreds of other people. “I feel like the Spirit was really strong,” she said afterward.

Another conversation to explore, separate from this news story.

One friend is rich, one is broke, and everyone ordered differently. How do you split dinner?

A group of longtime friends traditionally divides restaurant bills equally. Their incomes have grown increasingly unequal, and one friend now declines gatherings because even their share is difficult to afford while others order without thinking about price.

When should friendship adjust for differences in wealth?
