Salt Lake Parade of Homes

After former President Donald J. Trump was found guilty on 34 felony counts, Utah lawmakers including Sen. Mike Lee and Rep. Burgess Owens reacted to the news.

Trump’s conviction Thursday makes him the first president in American history to be convicted of a felony. He will have a sentencing hearing on July 11.

Calling it a “sad day for America,” Lee said, “The verdict against Donald Trump, marred by unclear charges and irregular jury instructions, sets a dangerous precedent. This was a political prosecution to help Joe Biden, a weaponization of our justice system that threatens the very fabric of our Republic.”

Here are the 13 new hymns just released by the Church of Jesus Christ

The day dawn is breaking on the new global hymnbook for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The church released the first 13 songs from “Hymns — For Home and Church” on Wednesday night on its Gospel Library app and in the Music Library on ChurchofJesusChrist.org. (See the full list of the hymns below.)

The release reflects the digital age. The first batch of new hymns are temporarily numbered beginning with 1001 — “Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing” — so this Sunday, church members may look up to the front of a chapel and see they are singing hymns 2, 1007 and 294. They will need a digital device to access No. 1007; a print version of the hymnbook won’t be published until 2030.

Read more about the new hymns and how they're being introduced.
