Sacrament of Communion The Table is open to all.
Remembrance (The Communion Song) Questions to consider as you read and as you reflect on the sermon: Read Psalms 80:8-18 and Isaiah 5:1-7. How do these passages shed light on what Jesus is saying about himself in John 15:1-8? How do you remain in him? What does this look like in practice for you? When have you felt like you were on the receiving end of God’s pruning knife?
Closing Song Life You’re Living Commissioning of Juarez Mission Trip Sending Forth Children are always welcome in worship at Faith. If preferred, a nursery is available for children ages 0-4, and C.R.E.W. is available for kids ages 4 thru 6th grade.
