A few weeks ago, a student named Ava reached out to us on behalf of her club at Hoggard High School called HeartFelt Words. The students partnered with middle and elementary schoolers at St Mark’s to create beautiful Valentine’s Day cards for our guests and volunteers.
These thoughtful cards were filled not only with colorful artwork, but also with heartfelt messages of encouragement and appreciation — many especially recognizing our dedicated volunteers. Our volunteers were deeply touched by the kindness expressed in these notes.
As Luke so beautifully reminds us through his loving words, we are all called to know God’s love and compassion. During this Lenten season, may we strive to love and serve with hearts like Luke’s.
