READINGS FOR THIS WEEK
May 7, 2017, Fourth Sunday of Easter
When in the early centuries of the church Christians first began to draw pictures of Jesus, they depicted him as the good shepherd. This coming Sunday we hear part of John 10, a chapter that elaborates on the image of Jesus as the shepherd. Come to worship, and join the rest of the sheep to honor our shepherd.
