Beloved Community,
This coming Sunday is known as Good Shepherd Sunday in the life of the church. It always falls on this 4th Sunday of Easter and the texts include the beloved 23rd Psalm.
That beloved Psalm will form the foundation of the sermon on Sunday. I have rested in it in these days...The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. Those words have brought comfort and assurance to so many. Reminders that even though we walk through dark valleys, we do not go walk there alone.
This Psalm, so beloved, walks us into the sheepfold, where the good shepherd, who knows us by name, welcomes us home.
Pastor Julie+
