📖 ✊🏽 Being a part of faith-rooted organizing means remembering the words found in the scriptures. Today we remember the call that is placed on our hearts to show kindness and mercy to one another.

📖✊🏽 Faith-rooted Organizing means that the church becomes a reflection of God's boundless love. - Dr. Alexia Salvatierra . Kindness, mercy, and boundless love to those we know, don't know, like, or do not like.
