I. Devotional
Devotion was given by Schellye Gentry. Scripture reading from 1 Corinthians 13. Devotion theme was love. God is the source of all our love. Loving God and loving other people are so interrelated that we cannot have one without the other! Love is a consequence of faith in God. When we have sufficient faith and trust in God, the Holy Spirit. Gives us the gift of love as a sign of what is to come in the Kingdom of God. Love is a divine gift that occurs only when we allow Christ to live within us.
