“You breathed your warm, healing wind into the deep crevasse of my heart.”

— Stacy J. Ladyman, Shep and the King of Hearts

Heart and Key, a program written by Stacy to reach ages 7-99 is a simple program to instill God’s love through basic Bible truths.

“Heart and Key is a learning adventure that invites participants to open the door to God. It is for those who never knew God before; and it is for those who once walked with God, but may have wandered away.

Heart and Key means coming home again — to God. If our heart seems lonely and locked away, God is the One who can unlock it again. God invites us to come home -and find our security — in Him.”

—Pastor Tony Godlefski, Montgomery United Methodist, Belle Mead, NJ
