There are Children’s bulletins on the table for children to use during Worship Service. We have Jr. Church during both services, but children are welcome to stay with their parents during service upstairs. Feel free to use the crayons; please return the crayons to the table at the end of service.
There is a sign-up sheet on the table to provide a meal for Barb & Gregg Lemmon. Please sign your name & what you might bring on a day in this calendar. Please use foil containers and lids (there are some on the table). This helps greatly, so no one needs to wash or return pans. Barb is allergic to seafood. If you have questions, contact Teresa Faidley or Barb Snyder.

I AM…The Good Shepherd
July 27, 2025
John 10:11-18, 22-30 11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.
14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. 17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”
22 Then came the Festival of Dedication[a] at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was in the temple courts walking in Solomon’s Colonnade. 24 The Jews who were there gathered around him, saying, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.”
25 Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me, 26 but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. 27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all[b]; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”
Other Scriptures: Gen.49:24, Ps. 23:1, 78:52-53, 80:1, Is. 40:10-11, Jer. 23:1-3, Ez. 34:2-10
