News Brief from Centreville United Methodist Church October 16, 2026 mailchi.mp/centreville-umc/news-brief-from-centreville-united-methodist-church-october-16-2026

God's laws are gifts of love, not burdens of restriction.
God's laws are not obstacles to a good life but gifts from the One who knows what makes life good.
They are an open invitation to a different kind of life. A life shaped not by fear, greed, or the pursuit of power - but by faithfulness, justice, and love.
Our faith isn't simply something we believe. It's something we live. Not because we are trying to earn God's love, but because we've already received it. And perhaps that's the most liberating things about God's law.
