Ryland Epworth United Methodist Church

Thought for the Week:
Every time I feel the spirit moving in my heart, I will pray.
                                                                                    -- African American Spiritual

For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the spirit of sonship.
When we cry, "Abba! Father!" it is the Spirit himself bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of
God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in
order that we may also be glorified with him.
                                                                                      --Romans 8:15-17
