The summer theme for Heat Respite is "Our love is hot" which comes from a verse warning believers not to reduce our love when the going gets tough in these last days.
Grace Lutheran Church has answered the call this summer. Despite recent events, Grace Lutheran has led the Lutheran community, as always, in loving the community that God has placed them. Just in the last several days we have led in partnering with other organizers to send two people back home and reconnect them with the family who has been missing them. One of our most loyal volunteers have received leniency and a second chance in life due to our support as a reference. Liberty University students are praying and ministering to our guests. Lastly, the guests themselves have thanked everyone for their continued support and send love.
