Sermon for the day -
John 10:1-10 “Very truly, I tell you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate but climbs in by another way is a thief and a bandit. 2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5 They will not follow a stranger, but they will run from him because they do not know the voice of strangers.” 6 Jesus used this figure of speech with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them. 7 So again Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who came before me are thieves and bandits; but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the gate. Whoever enters by me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. |

Sharing of Peace
In days gone past we may have thought of heroes being those who won the big game or starred in the big movie or something else that was monumental for all the world to see. In these challenging days we are wonderfully redefining that image to be the ordinary men and women who have helped us remain safe, sane and healthy during these pandemic days. For our peace today we have a new musical offering speaking of both the ways that God seeks to shelter us and inviting us to see the ways that the heroes we are naming today are helping to shelter us all. May you be blessed by these words today as God leads us "beside still waters". |
Many thanks to Grace Shroeder Scott for sending in this video, song and story. To read more about the story and Fr. Michael Joncas who composed the song during this pandemic click on this link - Shelter Me Story. He composed this song with Psalm 23 in mind. He is also the composer of On Eagles Wings.
