In stormy days of isolation, anxiety & grief, when we feel like we are at our most vulnerable, we have not been abandoned. Jesus is the vine of God’s presence who has joined us together into the life He shares with the Father.

:Jesus is the WAY God always planned to bring us into his presence. He is the TRUTH of what God has always been like. He shows us the good LIFE God has always wanted to share with us.

Jesus is the resurrection and the life who gives us hope in life and in death.

The Lord is our Good Shepherd who knows us, cares for us like no other, and will never abandon us. He invites us to follow his voice in a life-giving relationship of care and trust.

Jesus is the gate that never shuts. He is building a community where the bullied and vulnerable find belonging and safety.

Jesus is the light of the world who illuminates who God is and who we are. Come out into the light of his presence.

Jesus is God's ever-present provision for our deepest hunger. Take and eat.

Jesus thinks he is God, and that is very good news. If Jesus is God then God is just like Jesus, yesterday, today and forever.

Knowing our needs, Our good Heavenly Father gives us the gift of Sabbath so that we might wake up to the reality of the sweetness of his rest.
