This coming fourth Sunday of Easter is called Good Shepherd Sunday, since on this Sunday all three years of the lectionary celebrate the shepherd as an image of the risen Christ. We will sing the beloved Psalm 23.  

Unfortunately, most art depicting the Good Shepherd is unrealistic and sentimental: shepherding was a difficult and dirty job for the men and women who herded the flocks, but sheep were gifts from God and essential sources of life for the people. Come to thank Christ for being our shepherd.

Don't forget the forum on WATER (9:30 am) sponsored by the Chapel's Green Team and led by Ted Grantham! 

Think about starting a "practice of praying" for the Chapel this week -- around the table before a meal, before bedtime, in the morning as you prepare to depart for a busy day. Use this list and remember those in need. We invite your prayers for:

For Laura who continues treatments this coming week

For former SHARE staff member, Yamilet Coreas, who lost five family members to carbon monoxide poisoning on Tuesday

For Jen Afdahl-Rice's great uncle Chuck 

For Jackson's friend, Matt, and his family

For Bryan and his family as he deals with brain cancer

For Maurice who is grieving the unexpected death of his wife, Harriet

For Maura, who broke her leg and is recovering 

For our friend Troy and his mother, Donna 

For all who struggle with eating disorders

For David as he continues treatment for cancer 

For Martin as he prepares to return to Ireland

For Charlie and Ray, who are living with terminal cancer diagnoses, and for their families and supporting communities

For Don and Duane as they continue in recovery

For spouses, marriages, and partnerships; especially in difficult times

For our confirmands, Lee and Matt

For Chapel children and their families

For all who are looking for work
