Memory Verse: 28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is                    outward in the flesh; 29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that     of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from        God.                                                                                             (Romans 2:28-29)
