Fed"

all who suffer, and
FEED all whose bodies
lack nourishment.

Neighbor, Grace
We commit ourselves to:
Pray without ceasing,
Respect the sacred dignity
of every human being,
Cultivate a deep sense of
gratitude to God, the giver of all good things,
Seek out and befriend the
neighbor,
Remain humble in the
conviction that our calling comes purely by the grace of God.

God's Word, and share Christ's supper. SENT by God's grace

Christ through word and deed, serve all people following the example of
our Lord Jesus, and strive for justice and peace in all the world.
