April 28 Worship Focus

·         Theme: I Am…The Vine

·         Scripture: John 15:1-11, Isaiah 11:1-9

·         Speaker: Valerie Alipova

Our post-Easter worship explores a number of the “I am…” statements that Jesus uses to describe himself in the gospel of John. Who is the resurrected Christ? These profound images and metaphors offer much to feed our spiritual imaginations as we seek to live in the light of an empty tomb. This week we explore the image of vines and branches, as we abide in Christ and he in us. “I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit.”
