Keep It Alive

In Romans 12, the Apostle Paul encourages us to “never let the fire in your heart go out.” Each member plays a vital role, contributing prayers, presence, gifts, and service to maintain vibrant faith within the church community.

All Creatures

All beings, from nature to humanity, exist to honor their Creator. St. Francis, known for his love of animals, inspires us to appreciate and protect creation.

No Pain, No Gain

In the 1980’s there was a popular saying, “No pain, no gain.” Although not generally recommended as an exercise motto, the saying can point us towards the sacrifice that Jesus made for us on the cross.

The Power of Prayer

In James 5, we see that prayer should be a first resort, not a last. Prayer is a powerful action that can address emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being when paired with other forms of support.

Seeds of Peace

Conflicts arise with very little effort on our part. If we want to experience justice and righteousness, however, we have to be intentional about working for peace.
