Sixth Sunday of Easter
John 5:1-9
“Stand Up”
Rev. Benjamin J. Wines
We look forward to joining you in Worship this Sixth Sunday of Easter, starting at 11:00AM in the Sanctuary. Rev. Benjamin Wines will bring the message, “Stand Up”. We will be reading from John 5:1-9 and our Call to Worship comes from Psalm 67.

Questions for Further Reflection:
In this passage, Jesus heals a man who’d suffered for years.
Why is his question to the man important?
How does Jesus’ power dispel despair?
