The new year will be, in some ways, like every other year that has ever been. It will repeat cycles that are centuries old. There will be the ageless round of days and seasons. There will be births and deaths, joy and sorrow. There will be triumphs and defeats, honor and shame. Solomon, the wise, perceived this truth: “What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun” (Eccl. 1:9).

    As we begin 2022, we feel refreshed and ready to start a new year with the goals and resolutions to improve ourselves going forward.  One way that we do this is with a renewed focus on spiritual things.  The Elders help us channel this refocus with a specific plan we can strive to reflect upon and grow throughout the year.  This year, our plan is “The Gospel is for All,” and as the year moves along the Deacons will contribute articles in the bulletin using different characters in the New Testament to show the need that all need the…

 According to evolution, people are just apes who grew bigger brains, stood upright, and lost most of their body hair (I’ve lost more than most).
