Who We Are

Feed the hungry and help those in trouble. Then your light will
shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will
be as bright as noon.

Who We Are

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.

Matthew 25:35-36
