The Vine and the Branches - Nathan Rages

John 15:1-11

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.  Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.  I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.  If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.  My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples. Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full."

Special Meeting in Louisburg, KS on Sunday, February 26

This coming Sunday, February 26, we're planning to hold our morning worship service in Louisburg, KS in a joint meeting with the believers at Christ Covenant Church, most of whom have visited our meetings in Columbia and attended our Fall Fellowship Camp in the past.

The special meeting will start at 10:30am.  The plan is for *both* Dan Pentimone, the Christ Covenant Church pastor, and me to speak -- giving shorter sermons than usual. 


There will be a "pot providence" lunch immediately after the meeting, so we'll need to bring some food to contribute to that.  Their kitchen has a stovetop, microwave, oven, and fridge.

The church building address is 1 Aquatic Drive, Louisburg, KS 66053.  The directions from Columbia are: 

• West on I-70 to Kansas City, 
• South on I-435 for 18 miles, 
• South on US Hwy 69 for 22 miles into Louisburg,
• East on KS-68 two miles to Aquatic Drive.  

Here's a link to a Google Map: https://goo.gl/maps/fAaAEueSTLL2 , which estimates travel time at 2.5 hours.

Events like this are valuable in broadening our circles of fellowship and increasing our appreciation for the Kingdom of Christ beyond our local church.  Hopefully nearly all of us will be able to participate!

2017 Fall Fellowship Camp registration now OPEN

We are happy to announce that registration for the 2017 Fall Fellowship Camp, October 12 -15, is now open.   

The plan is for most things to remain very similar to to the 2016 Camp with one exception.  Based on everyone's feedback, we've greatly expanded the volunteer opportunities for helping with food service during the Camp.  Those wishing to serve in that way may indicate their interest on the registration form.   

The Camp may fill up more quickly this year, particularly the private rooms, so don't delay too long in registering. 

  

The Lord's lovingkindness to us in 2016 causes us to look expectantly forward to what He has for us in October!
