The Ladies Working Society is not yet ‘weary of well doing;’ and the Rector here acknowledges that the congregation is indebted to the untiring labors of this little band, for much of its present prosperity.

Much good has been done by the work of zealous women, and there is bright promise of further well-directed self-denying effort on their part. The Sunday School Superintendent has successfully trained the children in the songs of the church. A lady communicant, as an Easter-offering, furnished the Church with handsome and costly Bishop’s and Chancel…

Reduce child mortality & Improve maternal health Let us pray for the health of women, children and families around the world, especially for an end to maternal and child mortality, that in building healthy families, all God’s people may be empowered to strengthen their communities and repair the breaches which divide nations and peoples.
