In Matthew 22, Jesus describes the two greatest commandments as “Love God with all your heart and with all your soul and all your mind,” and “love your neighbor as yourself.” As Christ-followers, let’s show our neighbors that we mean it when we say “I love you,” by expressing it to them in our actions, whether small or large.

As individuals grow in their gifts and abilities, they are empowered to contribute meaningfully to the lives of others, fostering a community of service and spiritual growth.
With many people coming and going from the home, we appreciate weekly support to maintain the facility.
