Editor’s note: My heart rejoices when people of various walks of life and different faiths can join hands in doing good to serve our Heavenly Father’s children. Kudos to the people in the Murrieta area in California who did just that. Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints joined Methodists and Catholics in an effort to help fight hunger. I believe the world needs more of these kinds of efforts!  Read More →
