A note from Pastor Stephanie - 1/20/22

Dear FVPC family,

Our walk through the gospel according to John brings us to a famous passage, but one that we probably hear out of context more than in its place in the story - John 3:16. Who does Jesus say this to? What is he talking about when he says it? And, wow, what do all those other things around it mean?

John loves to speak in poetic and philosophical language, so in some ways it's no wonder this particular verse has been remembered more on its own than with the rest of the story and speech around it. I hope you'll join our on-line worship on Sunday (or later in the week if you need to) as we ponder with Nicodemus what being born anew in God's love is all about.

Peace,
Pastor Stephanie
