The Gospel in action - Inspiring Hope – Reaching Out – Bringing Comfort - Acting Responsibly – Stewardship - Sharing the love of Christ
Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Romans 12:15-18 (ESV)
