Because Light Always Overpower Dark

Here's a badly needed positive story in the midst of a series of tragedies, upheavals and a tremendous uprising from criminal, self serving rioters:

Holy Trinity Lutheran church's website states they usually have 200-250 Sunday Service worshipers. This past Sunday, it reached nearer towards 10,000 prayer participants spread out on their lawn. Partnering with Minnesota Interfaith Power and Light, last week they converted their building to serve as a medic station/hospital for ones with injuries. Their church became a shelter to help the sick, grieving, fearful and hungry. 

Rising even higher, the church also asked for food donations to help the needy. Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Minneapolis posted a recent update after they'd turned their church into a grocery store, once the food supplies came flooding in. The power of good deeds, by their congregants and locals, was featured in the news.

Kind, pure-hearted people donated food throughout the week. So much food that the church had to turn their entire building into a grocery store whereby anyone could pick up items with no questions asked, food banks included. Finally they requested people to stop donating. Not because they didn't want the supplies. But because they had completely run out of space to host any more food. 

At a time where justice isn't what these sheer vandals want, yet are purely pursuing greed for their own selfish motives, we applaud Holy Trinity Lutheran Church for opening their doors, their prayers, their hearts and their community in magnificent bonding. When we are faced with dark times, scary times, petrifying times where dark attempts to destroy the good we've achieved, this church proves that light is always the powerful force. 

Remember, the only thing that can ever destroy dark...is light. 

If you have even $5 to spare, please donate it to this church. The church asks that when you choose a fund, select 'other' and simply type 'justice.'

This is what light looks like - just in case you were wondering. 


SF CARES advocates for the needy, the poverty stricken and ones that cannot help themselves. We always give credit where credit is due. Holy Trinity has proven to be an exceptional example. The only time you should be looking down on someone, is when you're helping them up. Something for everyone to remember.
