We Join You in Asking
Who am I?
Why am I here?
How can I make the world a better place?
Together We
Discover who we are.
Reveal our purpose for being.
Change the world for the better.
“Use me God. Show me how to take who I am, who I want to be, and what I can do and use it for a purpose greater than myself.”
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
