In this time of social distancing, we stay connected to one another by gathering virtually in worship to join our voices together in prayer, to fellowship and share with one another, and to explore scripture in an interactive format. Contact Sheryl or the church office if you need help getting ZOOM onto your device.
We will also be celebrating Communion, so have bread and drink available that morning to represent for you the body and blood of Christ. Communion need not be by intinction, so you will likely want a cup for each person in the household.
Artwork: Dupre, Julien, 1851-1910. The Good Shepherd. Images of women agricultural workers became a popular subject in French painting of the mid-late 19th century. Julien Dupre drew on that popular theme and moved it to allegory, with the naming of a shepherdess as the “good shepherd.” Christ, the spiritual Good Shepherd, becomes a calming presence without being pictured, simply by the artist’s use of sheep, staff/rod, and one who tends the flock.
