John 14:1-14; 1 Peter 2:2-10 | On a daily, and even weekly, basis we occupy many “places.” We go from one space to another for school, work, and play. Often, we’ve associated “place” with a specific “space.” But as Jesus speaks of preparing a “place” for us with his disciples before his death, Jesus goes beyond our typical conception of space promising us that, even now, Jesus dwells not only with us but also in us. How does that shift our perspective as followers of Jesus? And how does that influence the way we live as dwelling places of God in the world? Join us for worship as we consider the mystery of our unity with Christ, and as we let ourselves be built into God’s holy priesthood.
