This Sunday's Service

According to the Liturgical Church Calendar, the 4th Sunday of Easter (the six weeks between Easter Sunday and Pentecost) is known as Good Shepherd Sunday. The scriptures deal with the image of God, and, or Jesus as the Good Shepherd. We are all familiar with this metaphor, and it is one of the most cherished scriptural references to the loving God. Of course, the most well known passage is the 23rd Psalm. Even people who are not church goers are usually familiar with this beautiful passage from the Hebrew scriptures. This Sunday we will consider the 23rd Psalm as we go on a meditational journey through these beloved verses. Let us walk in right paths, and beside still waters, for the Shepherding God is with us in all of our journeys.
The Meeting House Choir will sing Allelujah by Dr. William Boyce, and My Shepherd Will Supply My Need arranged by Mack Wilberg with Denise Zoch on oboe. Organist Gavin D. Craig will playThe King of Love by Charles Villiers Stanford, In Green Pastures by Harold Darke, and Scherzo from Symphony II by Charles-Marie Widor. Our congregational hymns will be The King of Love My Shepherd Is (ST. COLUMBIA), Precious Lord Take My Hand (PRECIOUS LORD), and Crown Him with Many Crowns (DIADEMATA).
