For you shall go out in joy and be led back in peace…. Isaiah 55:12a

Partnership for Peace

Where is peace needed in our community?

Left Behind

This photo represents a worn pair of shoes left behind on a busy street curb. Someone left these here for a reason. Why? Were they hopeless, desperate, alone?

We have all experienced hopelessness in our lives, a feeling of being left behind.

Finding community and connection are crucial to ensure no one gets left behind.
