As a community we are constantly challenged to live compassionately. This doesn’t always come naturally. However, the grace of God in our lives compels us joyfully into the brokenness of our world so we might be a blessing to those who are hurting. By God’s grace we are learning what it means to not just do compassionate things but to be a compassionate people. May He make our lives an offering of service to the community we live and the world that seems to be getting smaller.
