Fifth Sunday of Easter (Year B)

Why have so many Bible stories, verses, and ideas been set to music? Because it just seems right. Jesus is "the True Vine", the Bible says, and singing it seems a better response than merely saying it. You’ll hear that musical richness on the next Sing For Joy. I hope you’ll be listening.
