John 15: 1-8 | In the past year, connection, whether a connection to one another or a connection to Christ, has looked different. So now, as we continue to celebrate the season of Easter, what might it mean for us to remain connected to Christ as our source of life? And what might it look like to open ourselves to the work of the Holy Spirit, creating room for even more abundant life and purpose to spring forth? Join us for worship as we hear the promise of Christ abiding in us out of love, and re-connect ourselves to the life that only God can provide.
