LDS Church releases 15 new additions to revised global hymnbook
SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — The Utah-based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints added 15 new hymns Thursday in the latest round of additions to its new global hymnbook.

The final version of the hymnbook is expected to have 450 to 500 songs.
Out of the 17,000 original songs submitted by members, several were selected to be included. The church said the 15 songs added this week are 'newly submitted music, songs from other Christian faith traditions and hymns that have only been available in a small number of languages before now.'
The names of the hymns are listed below:
'Close As a Quiet Prayer'
'Come, Hear the Word the Lord Has Spoken'

'Holy Places'
'I Can't Count Them All'
'I Have Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ'

'Standing on the Promises'
'Take My Heart and Let It Be Consecrated'
'This Little Light of Mine'
'To Love Like Thee'
'Welcome Home'
'Were You There?'
The songs will be available online and on the church's apps within the day.

Greg Ito Transforms Rockefeller Center with 'The Enlightenment'
Summary Los Angeles-based artistGreg Itohas taken overRockefeller CenterwithThe Enlightenment, a vibrant public exhibition presented in partnership withArt Production Fundas part of the Art in Focus program. On view from June 2, the multi-site installation features paintings, sculptures, dioramas and photographic works that draw from personal memory and themes of transformation. Ito began many of the featured paintings during the California wildfires, layering symbols like flames, flowers, doorways and the setting sun to reflect cycles of destruction and renewal. At 45 Rockefeller Plaza, Ito transforms street-facing vitrines into sculptural installs, each one framed by windows and infused with cinematic lighting that shifts from day to twilight. Nearby, a 125-foot panoramic vinyl wraps the lower-level rink space with a narrative sequence blending staged photography and painted visuals. This marks the first time Ito's painting and photography are shown side by side in such a public setting. Elements of the exhibition also appear across multiple Rockefeller buildings, reinforcing the storytelling with recurring motifs. As part of the programming, a free interactive children's workshop will take place on June 26 from 2–5pm, co-hosted by Ito and Art Production Fund, supported by Enlightenmentis on view through August 29.

CALF adjusts plans amid Cypress Street construction
ABILENE, Texas () – Due to the ongoing revitalization project on Cypress Street, the Children's Art & Literacy Festival is adjusting its usual procedures to accommodate the construction. Every year, the Children's Art and Literacy Festival (CALF), as it is often referred to, strives to bring interactive and educational experiences to children all over the Big Country. However, this year's festival will experience some differences in its everyday operations with the reconstruction of Cypress Street. Ordinarily, the CALF sees Cypress Street in downtown Abilene transformed with features including live entertainment, street vendors, and families navigating from venue to venue. Normal operations for the festival include shutting down Cypress Street for regular foot traffic, but the progress with construction currently has the roadway along Cypress completely tore up. For safety, a temporary fence blocks public access to the street area, and festival goers will now have to utilize the sidewalk for certain sections of Cypress Street strictly. One of the main organizers for the CALF is the Abilene Cultural Affairs Council, and Executive Director Lynn Barnett spoke about how, despite the construction, they've worked to ensure patrons have an easy experience. 'The city has been great about working with us and making sure that, you know, people are still able to navigate the festival. We still have transportation running, and we are still close to the same, you know, North First along here. So really, I don't think festival-goers will notice any real change,' Barnett said. Although the changes should only cause minor inconveniences, Lynn Barnett of the Abilene Cultural Affairs Council advises anyone attending the CALF to ensure a smooth experience. 'Plan your agenda, plan your visits to the various readings, to the marionettes, to the singing zoologist. We're really excited about this year's Calf Festival and look forward to seeing people downtown,' said Barnett. The Children's Art and Literacy Festival will begin on Thursday, June 12, and will run until Saturday, June 14. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
