"Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven." ~ Matthew 9:2

"Take heart, daughter...your faith has healed you." ~ Matthew 9:22

Jesus very lovingly and compassionately speaks to the two individuals in both of these stories.
He SEES them.  He SEES their heart.  He MEETS their needs right where they are.

To be the hands and feet of Jesus is not only what we are called to be about,
but what we desire to be about.  Take Heart Ministries is a collaboration of both Park ministries
and area organizations who are partnering to love on and encourage children, adults, and families
in our church and community who need us most.
