Weekly Update - 5/23

Thank you Patrick for the message "I Am The Good Shepherd".  With the text from Psalm 23 and John 10.

• The Good Shepherd knows what's best for his sheep.
• He knows their needs.
• He will do what he can to protect them.
• The one sheep, that is lost, matters!
• He rejoices when it is found.

Let's Remember:

• While we are stubborn, HE is patient.
• While we lose direction, HE can lead us.
• While we make mistakes, HE offers forgiveness.
• While we are defenseless, HE is our protector.

SYMPATHY:

• Our condolences go out to Dinah Border on the passing of her sister, Mary Lou Green, of Pattonville. Graveside services were held Friday. Please continue to keep Dinah in your prayers.
