Community of Joy Lutheran Church issued the following announcement on May 2.
The fourth Sunday of Easter is also known as Good Shepherd Sunday. This day each year the gospel reading comes from one of the passages in John’s gospel in which Jesus describes himself as a shepherd caring for sheep. Even though many people have little or no firsthand understanding of a shepherd’s day-to-day work, this image of a strong and caring protector continues to resonate. Being known by name, being protected when dangers come, being cared for by someone who really knows us—these are powerful images of human needs.
