Dear People of God,
In our ONE worship service this weekend (Sunday, April 29, 10:30 a.m.), the Gospel lesson for the 4th Sunday of Easter is part of Jesus' "Good Shepherd" discourse: Jesus is our shepherd, the one who cares for us, leads us, encourages us, protects us, lays down his life for us. It is that model of ministry into which all of us are called in Baptism - to use our God-given gifts to care for, lead, encourage, protect, even lay down life for others. How fitting that this Sunday we remember and celebrate one of Lutheran Church of Our Savior's shepherds - the Rev. J. Alfred Updegraff. As we prepare for this weekend, a question to ponder: how has God led you to serve as shepherd in someone's life?In Christ's joy,GaryMINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES THIS SATURDAY:
