Ryland Epworth United Methodist Church

Thought for the Week:
With a deep sense of confidence we turn our thoughts and all of the overtones of our feelings in Thy direction, O God, our Father.  Brood over us, cleansing and renewing and restoring, to the end that we may face the responsibilities that await us beyond this moment with strength, with confidence, and with courage.

                                                                                --Howard Thurman,  The Centering Moment
