We believe that when we share food with the hungry,
we share food with you.
We believe that when we share drink with the thirsty,
we share drink with you.
We believe that when we welcome the stranger,
we are blessed by your presence.
We believe that when we take care of the sick and visit the prisoner,
we become your community of love.
We believe that when we work on changing unjust systems,
we work to build your kingdom on earth.
