Hope, Love, and Service

In our journey through life, we imagine and strive for a better world. This path is challenging yet kind, demanding that we never stop dreaming of what is possible. We must live faithfully into our hopes, especially when faced with uncertainty. We practice the rhythm of turning away from negativity and turning toward a hopeful future. We reject practices and beliefs that harm us and embrace what brings flourishing, goodness, and truth. By moving away from toxicity and toward love, joy, and service, we reorient ourselves in the world. This rhythm guides us in our defiant faith, providing a path to follow.

May we faithfully turn away from what diminishes us and move steadfastly toward a future filled with hope, love, and service.
