O house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord.
Isaiah 2:5
Small glimpses of walking in the light across Liberty throughout the year:
- Residents at the Hearth knit blankets for those in the local community who need them so that they know the warmth of compassion.
- Volunteers and staff recreate prom at Artman so that residents like Ginny and Bill can dance once again while reminiscing about their last prom together in 1956.
- Dedicated heroes help survivors of disasters find temporary shelter and walk with them through the long journey of rebuilding their lives.
- Nancy and Bob, residents at the Village, devote much of their lives in prison ministry, offering hope to those who are incarcerated, helping them chart a path for a good life to follow.
- The community service club at Paul’s Run works tirelessly to make and package food or assemble personal hygiene bags for some of the most vulnerable among us, offering much more than necessities – an extension of love and respect.
- Ms. Talbot at the West Philadelphia Senior Community Center wears many hats and volunteers wherever she’s needed so that older adults get what they need and have a warm, welcoming place to come so that they’re not staying home in isolation.
- Ed, a resident at the Manor, eagerly and joyfully leads several projects in the community, providing energy and fun to nurture hearts and souls.
- Sylvia, grief counselor for Lutheran Congregational Services, listens to and encourages those who are grieving a loss, providing comfort and peace.
God of Jacob, we give you thanks for people who walk in your light, leading
the way. May we, too, with wisdom and courage, walk in your light so that
others may see and follow. Amen.
