"Let us not love with words or tongue,

but with actions and in truth."

(1 John 3:18)

COVID-19 has impacted all of us in significant and perhaps unimaginable ways. From social distancing to the forced closure of restaurants and businesses, our lives have been turned upside-down by this global pandemic. In response, theHeart wants to lead with love rather than shrink from fear. Listed below are numerous ways we can continue to serve and be served. Our hope and prayer are that we can be a beacon of hope in these times of uncertainty and struggle.
