John 15:1-8        

4/13 v1“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.
4/14 v2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 
4/15 v3   Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. 
4/16 v4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.
4/17 v5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
4/20 v6  If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. 
4/21 v7If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 

4/22 v8 By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.

Holy Week

Hello!
I haven't written here lately.  It seemed as though the views were down to almost zero.  However, I have had a few requests and so I will to updates this way.

I hope everyone has a blessed Easter.  Ask the 6th graders about a cool youtube video about the Passover story on Twitter.  It brings home the true meaning of Easter.
