From the Pulpit...

Guest speaker Pastor James Lorch charges his son Jansen at his ordination service to be a good shepherd, like the one we read about in Psalm 23. This shepherd feeds his flock, leads his flock, protects the flock, and cares for the flock. After the message, special prayer is offered for Jansen and his wife Kalee as they begin a new chapter in their ministry calling. The sermon connects Psalm 23 to New Testament shepherding passages and raises issues of application for the entire audience, whether pastor or not.
