Hymn of the Day: Hymn 502, The King of Love My Shepherd Is, st columbaThis coming fourth Sunday of Easter is called Good Shepherd Sunday, because all three years of the lectionary celebrate the image of the shepherd. 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. Join us in thanking God for being our shepherd.
