 “During a time of violent persecution, the apostle Peter wrote to the church in Rome. Peter told the people that the church of Jesus would be built not of stone or iron, but of living stones. Lives made better through Christ to carry his message of love and mercy to the world. This resonated with me. Our hope is that lives will be enriched through the gifts of the Tom and Marye Kate memorial. These gifts will provide the community with the living stones on which it can build a stronger foundation for the future.”
