This is the Sunday referred to as “Good Shepherd
Sunday.” Many references to Jesus as
shepherd are used in the readings and in the hymns appropriate to this day. However, it is interesting to note that Jesus
is also referred to as “the Lamb” in a number of places, including the Book of
Revelation. Jesus is both
shepherd and lamb.
Welcome!
Everyone is
invited to stay for fellowship after the service.
We pray today for all
the sick in our congregation, especially Else Kalmbach and her son, Bob McCrae,
Ed Stanat and John Weninger. May God
grant all of them His healing grace in Jesus Christ. Amen.
