First Church's Updates
Weekly Update for First Church of the Brethren, June 6, 2025
Romans 8: 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
The Holy Spirit is perhaps the least known and least understood part of the Trinty. Maybe –just maybe — that is because we fear what we can not control. But this scripture makes it plain that there is nothing really to fear in yielding to the Spirit — After all, there’s nothing to fear in the testimony that we are God’s children!
Also… A huge THANKS to church secretary Jan Simington for all her work on this her last day before her retirement begins!
