Hope 4 Kids Summer Outreach Update

Thank you for your support in making a difference for the Hope 4 Kids Summer Camp Bunch. Your generous donations enable us to provide snacks, water bottles, reading materials, and more to over 120 youths in the Tampa Bay area. We are grateful and ask that you continue to pray for our ability to support the many families needing extra help during the summer. We are also looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help pack and distribute snack packs and children’s books. Your efforts will brighten many children’s summers. To volunteer, please register on our website.

“Everybody can be great…because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”― Martin Luther King Jr.

This week’s Reflection! “The Practice of the Presence of God-Second Conversation

Today, reflecting on our summer reading selection, “ I wish to share an excerpt from the extraordinary life of Brother Lawrence, a seventeenth-century Christian who experienced a dramatic spiritual awakening at eighteen.

“Brother Lawrence said that many do not advance in the Christian progress because they stick in penances and particular exercises while they neglect the love of God which is the end. This appeared plainly by their works and was the reason why we see so little solid virtue. He said there needed neither art nor science for going to God, but only a heart resolutely determined to apply itself to nothing but Him and to love Him only.”
