The beauty of autumn. Is it even possible to have too much of it? I took this picture while walking the trail at the 'Tree Adventure Arbor Day Farm' in Nebraska City, Nebraska.

Hello November!

Orange pumpkins full and round, cornstalks gathered on the ground. Blue skies clear and autumn bright, harvest moons and frost at night.  Leaves raked high in great big piles, November sights bring thankful smiles.

********************************************************

 

 

 Good morning! Pastor Donna was absent last Sunday, so we will be using last week's bulletin which can be found in the previous post.

 The Vine and the Branches

Leader: 15 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the
gardener.

All: 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no
fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he
prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful.

Leader: 3 You are already clean because of the word I
have spoken to you.

All: 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No
branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the
vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in
me.

Leader: 5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you
remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit;
apart from me you can do nothing.

All: 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a
branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches
are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.

Leader: 7 If you remain in me and my words remain
in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for
you.

All: 8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear
much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.

Leader: 9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I
loved you. Now remain in my love.
