We are asking everyone to join us for International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church on Sunday, November 2, 2025, to pray for Christians facing persecution worldwide.

"Remember those in prison, as if you were there yourself. Remember also those being mistreated, as if you felt their pain in your own bodies" - Hebrews 13:3

This is the what most of the teens look like when our church praise team sings a hymn! 😂

So excited to have the newest edition of the hymnbook, but I’m not as familiar with some of the new songs. Luckily, the focus in sacrament meeting isn’t usually on how good the hymns sound. If it were, every Sunday would be incredibly disappointing… 😅😁
