Sunday, April 29th ~ 5th Sunday Of Easter
We all know that pain and discomfort are part of life. So, too, is joy and comfort. We are confronted with that reality in the Gospel of John. The 15th chapter begins with a word of pain and discomfort “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine grower. He removes every branch in me that bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit he prunes… .”
Bible Passage: John 15:1-10
Special Music:
Prelude to Prayer By: David Justice Performed by: The FFC Chancel Bells
Trouble! By: Sally K. Albrecht Performed by: The FFC Chancel Choir with the Illini Bluffs High School Chamber Singers
In Remembrance* By: Eleanor Daley Performed by: The Illini Bluffs High School Chamber Singers
* “Our ensemble has recognized the void of the innocent lives that this world has lost. In Remembrance is our small, but hopefully meaningful contribution to wishing condolences to the family members of those lost, both in the recent present and past. Through music, there is an opportunity to make the world a better place by how moving and beautiful it is and can be. Using the love we have for arts, we can be the people who will make a positive impact to other generations in hopes that things change for the better.”
