FAMILY TREE EVENTS

You and your amazing family are invited to....

FAMILY TREE

A place for the family



to establish deep roots in Jesus and His teaching,


to grow in His love and in faith practices,


and together produce fruit of the Spirit that will last forever.

John 15:1-17 is where Jesus illustrates how we grow in him by using the concept of vine and branches.  This scripture will be our foundation to build off of for our Family Events.  I truly believe that a strong family equals a strong church!  I also believe that God is leading us to do these family events to help strength, bond, and grow the families in our communities.  I am so excited for this and cannot wait to see how the Holy Spirit moves and how God uses these events to change families and in turn change our congregations which will change our communities! 

I would like to share some of the verses in that passage to give you a taste of what Jesus was saying to us but I would also encourage you to look up the entire passage and study it to see what Jesus may be saying to you through it.

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.

This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit – fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.

This is my command: Love each other.
