Building Vibrant Communities

Together we can do this important work in our communities.  Sadly every day, we are reminded that injustice and racial prejudice are severely infused in our society.

Reaching out into the community through service and fostering friendships beyond race, religion and class is a proactive way in which we live the principles we believe. Service is a bond that brings people together; like love, it does not arise from obligation but from a selfless concern for the well-being of others.
