Discover One’s Mission                                                (Rev Martin Luther King jr)
"Every person must have a concern for self, and feel a responsibility to discover one’s mission in life. God has given each normal person a capacity to achieve some end. True, some are endowed with more talent than others, but God has left none of us without talent. Potential powers of creativity are within us, and we have a duty to work assiduously to discover these powers."

 Many thanks to those who have returned the Questionnaire, which we handed out recently.  I am sure there must be others who are willing to offer their services.  We eagerly await your response!
