Favorite Bible Verse or Quote

And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. - Micah 6:8

My dream for EMS

My hope is that the community of people that are EMS will continue to grow a heart of service that cares for God's people and God's earth, learn and find healing through hard conversations and restorative relationships, and build peace throughout their lifetimes-actively practicing kindness, listening, and courage. "Peace is a choice. Live peace as Jesus did. At each small turn choose peace."
