Our Creed
As we are making a new beginning in this community, so may we make fresh beginnings within ourselves
and in our relationships with one another.

May we stand ready at all times to extend help and friendship to newcomers in our midst.

Remembering our own loneliness in new surroundings, may we strive to lessen it in the lives of others.

May we have done with hypocrisy, pretense and
gossip in all their forms as unworthy of us.

May we hasten to re-establish those ties in neighborhood, church, school and community
that are evidences of responsible citizenship.

May we strive ceaselessly to lift the level of our common life, enriching it with whatever gifts of talent, skill, knowledge, or experience as may be ours.

And may the friendships here established bless us through the years.
