The Watchword for the Week — For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not perish but may have eternal life. John 3:16

Gracious God, You remind us we are loved, and we are forever grateful. You also remind us Your love is not just for one, but for all. Send us to share your love today. Amen.
