Sister†Hood A Resolve for Every Morning of the New Year: "I will this day try to live a simple, sincere and serene life, repelling promptly every thought of discontent, anxiety, discouragement, impurity and self-seeking; cultivating cheerfulness, magnanimity, charity and the habit of holy silence; exercising economy in expenditure, carefulness in conversation, diligence in appointed service, fidelity to every trust and a child-like trust in God." From a calendar by Bishop John H. Vincent Click on the Sleighride to view our beautiful musical New Year's Card by artist Jacquie Lawson. Be sure to turn up your volume!

Here are the latest opportunities to strengthen your faith and connect with the community.
