On August 22, our community gathered for SELAM, a true-story–inspired film about young teachers who leave home to serve in schools across Afghanistan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Senegal. Shot across three continents, the film highlights courage, friendship, and the power of education to build peace.
Families and friends met in the GRFS backyard for a cozy summer lawn chairs out, free popcorn, tea, and coffee in hand. After the film, conversations flowed about service, teaching, and how small acts can change lives.
As the credits rolled, we were reminded that love is something we do—showing up, serving others, and learning together. At GRFS, Love is a Verb—and nights like this help us live it.
