			Spiritual Life One evening when it came time to dismiss the residents from Chapel, one young man said, "I'd like to stay here forever." When asked why, he responded, "Because I feel safe here." The goal of the Spiritual Life Department is that every child would feel the safe embrace of a loving and caring God.
