This Week’s Memory Verse
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
John 15:5
This Sunday: Jesus calls us to a life of love in our Gospel today. He loves us as the Father has loved Him, and we are to love others as Jesus has loved us. The love of God is modeled for us in Jesus, and given to us in Him as well. May His love surround you today, and flow through you in the coming week!
