What would it mean if we were really connected to Jesus - all the time? What would it mean to our family, our co-workers, our friends? Jesus says, “I am the vine, and you are the branches.” Life with him means we will produce fruit, more glorious than summer tomatoes! Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, tolerance, and self-control. That’s what “Life on the Vine” looks like. Doesn’t sound like our world today, does it? Yet, God expects us to produce such fruit and He gives us the resources to do so.

 

Have you ever seen a tree with only one branch? We are in this together. This Lenten season we will participate in Small Groups to seek life on the vine and how in this pressured, broken, and out-of-control world we find lives worthy of our calling. Philip D. Kenneson’s book, “Life on the Vine - Cultivating the Fruit of the Spirit in Christian Community” will be our guide as we seek wisdom and answers from scripture and one another.

 

Groups will be forming on various days, at various times to suit most schedules. The class meetings are typically 1-1/2 hours a week, beginning February 26 and ending the week of Easter. Included in our class meeting time will be a video segment featuring author Kenneson and our own MPUMC clergy. As an added bonus, Philip Kenneson will be a featured speaker here at the church on March 19.

 

Come join us and watch the fruit of the spirit grow in us and in our church!
