Evening Prayers on this ‘Good Shepherd’ Sunday are prompted by verses from this morning’s Gospel reading from John chapter 10. Then said Jesus: ‘In very truth I tell you, I am the door of the sheepfold.’ John 10: 7 Thank you, Father, that Jesus is our Good Shepherd and through him we are brought into fellowship...
Jesus says: I am the gate. Come, and be loved.
Come, and receive peace. Come, and find life.
Good morning my dear friends:
God is good?
All the time.

God is Good.
How wonderful for us to connect again in worship this Sunday morning. Indeed, God is good!

Safe in your hand, O God,
is the flock you shepherd
through Jesus your Son.
Lead us always to living waters
where you promise respite and refreshment,
that we may be counted among those
who know and follow you.
we ask this through Jesus Christ, the resurrection and the life,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit
God for ever and ever.
Amen

Praying Hands Good evening, everybody. I hope today has brought you many blessings, as well as, no doubt, some challenges. I am sure many of you know Albrecht Dürer’s ‘Praying Hands’.

A reading from Isaiah 43: 1–3. This is the word of the Lord, the word of your Creator, the one who fashioned you, Israel: ‘Have no fear, for I have redeemed you; I call you by name; you are mine. When you pass through water, I shall be with you; when you pass through rivers, they...
Organ Prelude: Liebster Jesu, wir sind hier (J.S. Bach) Hymn: How sweet the name of Jesus sounds How sweet the name of Jesus sounds in a believer’s ear!

I am the Resurrection and the Life The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is a historic fact. It is the foundation of Christian expectation and hope, and this hope is found only in the risen Lord and the Easter story. There is ample evidence that Jesus is the Son of God. When Mary would have held on...
