Aspiring, nurturing, flourishing; together shining a light.

Biblical Verse

Matthew 5: 13 - 16 - Sermon on the Mount 

Salt and Light

14 -16“ You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hidden. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.”’

(New Revised Standard Version)
