December 2018 Letter

/in ,

As REACH completes a meaningful year of in-depth focus on the theme of “Flourishing,” we rejoice that these conversations will continue – Flourishing is at the heart of our vision statement – that children, families, and young adults flourish with dignity and self-worth. We see our families being resilient in the face of stigma and rejection… we hear their stories of serving and lifting up others… they tell us of safe community they are forming. We celebrate it all as flourishing.
We also rejoice that God has revealed a deeply meaningful theme for 2019: Joy. There are amazing parallels between flourishing and joy.
