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).
