verse of the day
But be doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves. For if any are hearers of the word and not doers, they are like those who look at themselves in a mirror; for they look at themselves and, on going away, immediately forget what they were like. – James 1:22-24
voice of the day

prayer of the day

God, help us to abandon our selfish ways and faithless habits, so that we might know the fullness of your new creation in our communities as it is in your resurrected body. – adapted from Common Prayer
