Message: “Family of Faith, part 2” Pastor Raffauf Closing Blessing/Sending Song
“But when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, in order to redeem
those who were under the law, so that we might receive adop-tion as children. And because you are children, God has sent
the Spirit of his Son into our[b] hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” So you are no longer a slave but a child, and if a child then also
an heir, through God.” - Galatians 4:4-7 (NRSV)
