A big Thank You to everyone who has supported us and cheered us on this past year. Your belief in our mission has meant so much!
As we enter into a new year, this song aptly summarizes our hope and aspiration for everyone who grieves:
“Beginnings
Let that word wash over you
It’s alright now
Love’s healing hands have brought you through
So get back up, take step one
Leave the darkness, feel the sun
‘Cause your story’s far from over
And your journey’s just begun…
Tell your heart to beat again
Close your eyes and breathe it in
Let the shadows fall away
Step into the light of grace
Yesterday’s a closing door
You don’t live there anymore
Say good-bye to where you’ve been
And tell your heart to beat again”
