~John 14:6

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
~Romans 3:23

"And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s LOVE. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s LOVE. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the LOVE of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord."
~Romans 8:38-39

JESUS IS OUR SAVIOR
(crowds gathered)

In the afternoon, the students spilt up and helped deliver food
to families struggling daily to make ends meet. 

Food Was Divided Evenly Among The Families

"There will always be some
in the land who are poor." 
~Deuteronomy 15:11a

"That is why I am commanding you
to share freely with the poor and
with other Israelites in need."
~Deuteronomy 15:11b
