FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
APRIL 24TH, 2005

Focus: As members in community we are served in our needs and we serve the needs of one another.

Vital to living fully as a Christian is our faith community. Jesus formed a community of disciples to support one another in the work he gave them to accomplish. Jesus, the cornerstone of our community, has prepared a dwelling place for each of us with the Father in heaven. We are a chosen people, and Jesus is our way, our truth, and our life.
