Thoughts for the Week!

“I always bear in mind that my mission is to leave behind me the kind of impression that will make it easier for those who follow.”

Marian Anderson

“If I were to say, ‘God, why me?’ about the bad things, then I should have said, ‘God, why me?’ about the good things.”

Arthur Ashe

Scripture for the Week!

But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.

Romans 6:22

Prayer for the Week!

“Give Us Grace”

Give us grace, O God, to dare to do the deed which we well know cries to be done. Let us not hesitate because of ease, or the words of men’s mouths, or our own lives. Mighty causes are calling us—the freeing of women, the training of children, the putting down of hate and murder and poverty—all these and more. But they call with voices that mean work and sacrifices and death. Mercifully grant us, O God, the spirit of Esther, that we say: I will go unto the King and if I perish, I perish.

W.E.B DuBois
