​The theme of 2019 ASP Mission is    

Be the Peace!
Thus you shall salute him:
'Peace be to you, and
peace be to your house,
peace be to all that you have.'
1 Samuel 25:6
This is a greeting David sent to a man named Nabal-- a man David had never met. When we approach any person, we should greet them in peace and with grace. This is how 'strangers' become 'friends we just haven't met yet.'
We are excited about this verse as it reminds us to embody the peace of our faith-- to bring that peace with us wherever we go and wherever we serve, but also to bring that peace with us home. Be the peace in your home, be the peace at work, be the peace in class, be the peace at the grocery store, be the peace in Appalachia. Be the peace.
