Rain threatened so we moved indoors (safely socially distanced, of course) for our April 25 worship service. Rev. Jesse Larson read aloud John 10: 11-18—which tells how alike Jesus’s leadership was to that of a shepherd. Jesse reminds us that in troubling times such as recent violence and hate crimes across our nation, Jesus—the Good Shepherd—will not desert us. “We never bear the burden alone,” he says.
Pianist Natalya Amelchenko presents several musical arrangements and accompanies the congregation for two sing-along hymns: “For the Beauty of the Earth” and “My Faith Looks Up to Thee.”
