“Let all that you do be done in love.” — 1 Corinthians 16:14

Welcome, kind soul. Thank you for visiting Hearthlight Way Ministries.

This is a quiet and gentle space — a place of prayer, reflection, and sacred belonging. It is a personal ministry of Rev. Candace Ellen Mattingly-Russell, created to offer comfort, encouragement, and spiritual support to all who seek the Light of Christ.

We are honored to receive gifts from those who feel led to support this work.

Every offering helps us share Christ’s light and love more fully. Thank you for walking this sacred path with us.

All prayers, writings, and spiritual guidance are offered as pastoral care — with deep compassion, but not as legal, financial, psychological, or medical advice.
We encourage you to seek licensed professionals for those important needs.
