Summer of Light
Welcome to June and the kick off to summer! Around here, we’ll be focused on kicking of a SUMMER OF LIGHT!
Summer doesn’t just happen around us — it shines through us. We invite you to intentionally be light in your home, workplace, neighborhood, and everyday moments.
Inspired by Matthew 5:14, “You are the light of the world.”
