The People of God in Community – The Letters of John and Jude

Sunday, April 6 Traditions worship service. William Law, an 18th century Anglican priest wrote: “If we are to be new people in Christ, then we must show our newness to the world. If we are to follow Christ, it must be in the way we spend each day.” As we approach the letters of James and Peter this week, we remember that these writers likely knew each other and even walked together with Jesus! They were both also instrumental in the development of the first Christian community in Jerusalem that began to be organized after the day of Pentecost. 1  John 1:5-9; 3:1-3 1 John 4:7-21 Jude 1:7-21; 24-25

I am The Vine and You are the Branch

Fifth Sunday of Easter, April 28 Traditions online worship service. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” – John 15:5 This Sunday’s Gospel text makes it clear that centering our lives in Christ is pretty important. But what does that mean exactly and what does it look like in everyday life? Join us for worship this Sunday in person or online as we dive into this powerful image of Jesus as the true vine, the source of our life. We look forward to seeing you there! John 15:1-8 1 John 4:7-21
