Through our character – an opportunity to reflect on important issues in our community
Templeton Foundation winner and former British Navy serviceman Jean Vanier has a heart for the disabled and those with developmental disabilities.  People like him should motivate us to examine our own hearts.  As Vanier puts it, “At the heart of who you are, you’re someone also crying out, ‘Does somebody love me?’ not just for what I can do, but for who I am.”  Are you loved like that and perhaps even more important, do you love others in that way?

Through our prayers — an opportunity to pray for the needs of our community
– Seek strength from God to help you love others not for what they can do but for who they are.
