FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT
2016 UMW WOMEN’S RETREAT
All the fruit of the Spirit are held in place by love. Jesus said that loving God and other people is the most important commandment. “You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.” – Joyce Meyer Please bring your favorite mug or cup to the retreat.

“Fruit is always the miraculous, the created; it is never the result of willing, but always a growth. The fruit of the Spirit is a gift of God, and only He can produce it. They who bear it know as little about it as the tree knows of its fruit. They know only the power of Him on whom their life depends.” - Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship
