Worship Series: "Gathered Up in Jesus"
This Week's Theme: "If It Bears Fruit"
Liturgical ResourcesThe Christ who gathers us up invites us to live a life of fruitfulness. That’s the call hidden in our text for this week. The text starts with questions about blame, about getting what is deserved. Jesus wants to change the conversation. Like a poem from Mary Oliver, he is asking us “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”Worship Planning Notes
