When Jesus said 'I am the true vine', He was teaching His disciples that they could not do anything without being bonded to him; that nothing apart from the vine can bear fruit.  In the same way we, as a church family, seek to do the same as the disciples by CONNECTING with God and one another in fellowship, GROWING together in faith, SERVING the living God, the community and each other and in doing so hope to be CHANGING as individuals and as a Church into the likeness of Christ so that we in turn might bring change to the world around us as people come to know Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.
