Ryland Epworth United Methodist Church

Thought for the Week:
O God, in mystery and silence you are present in our lives, bringing new life out of destruction, hope out of
despair, growth out of difficulty.   We thank you that you do not leave us alone but labor to make us whole. Help us to perceive your unseen hand in the unfolding of our lives, and to attend to the gentle guidance of your Spirit, that we may know the joy you give your people.  Amen.
