LMC Updates Have you ever encountered a question that stayed with you and made you pause and deeply reflect? During our recent Newly Credentialed Leaders Orientation, Bishop Hyacinth Stevens asked a thought-provoking question about what heaven on earth might look like. I envisioned a recent time I volunteered at Blessings of Hope, a wonderful ministry focused on bringing hope to our communities by connecting food surplus with those in need. Picture a little room where a few woman of different cultures work together to unpack boxes and sort dry goods. While serving, we paused momentarily to reflect on our journey of knowing Jesus and sharing the transformative change from darkness into his radiant light. We exclaimed, "Praise God! Thank you Jesus!"  It was a sacred moment of heaven touching the earth—a small taste of Revelation 7:9-10.
