Hope for a better world is an anchor in a stormy world, providing surety, steadfastness, and motivation for good works.

Zion can be a refuge through beauty and holiness, connecting us to God.

The call for us today is to find our place in the story and work to build Zion/ the Beloved Community in our communities.

Questions about faith and preparation during challenging times are explored, with a focus on developing active faith and building Zion.

As we begin the new year, let us recommit to our roles in building the kingdom, using scripture, revelation, and priesthood.

By linking arms, speaking with peace, and gathering people, a positive civic narrative can be created, finding joy in the journey.
