Pastor Gordan Camp, Union Lutheran Church, Schnecksville, offered some thoughts for people to consider.

“When it comes to putting our faith into action, it’s easy to wonder what kind of difference we can really make.

“Each of us has special passions, talents and gifts that can help make the world a more loving, peaceful, kind place.

“Don’t worry about failing, being criticized or not achieving huge results. Keep shining!”
