THE FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER - 4/26/2026
In the early centuries of the church, when Christians first began to draw pictures of Jesus, they depicted him as the good shepherd. This coming Sunday, we hear part of John 10, a chapter that elaborates on the image of Jesus as the shepherd. Come to worship and join the rest of the sheep to honor our shepherd.

In Ravenna, Italy, there is a fifth-century mausoleum in which Galla Pacidia, the daughter of the Roman emperor Theodosius I, is likely buried. One of its stunning mosaics depicts Christ as the good shepherd surrounded by sheep. His cross has become a standard of victory.
