"U-Turn For God" - John 15:17-24 - (May 9, 2021 - 6th Sunday in Easter)

<p>Everyone knows that when you are driving in the wrong direction, you need to make a U-turn and perhaps start over, or at least change your route. &nbsp;Do churches need to make a U-turn? &nbsp;Churches need to assess the route that they're on: their reason for existence. &nbsp;We are challenged in this day and age to re-examine who we are and what we are as Christian congregations as more and more people leave the church, and on the coasts churches are closing left and right. &nbsp;What will we do? &nbsp;Do you and your congregation need to make a U-turn?</p>
