Welcome, brothers and sisters in Christ, as we gather for
Praise, Prayer, Word and Worship!
\u201cIt takes some of us a lifetime to learn that
Christ, our Good Shepherd, knows exactly
what He is doing with us. He understands
us perfectly.\u201d –W. Phillip Keller<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4th Sunday of Easter<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRELUDE
We are excited that you are worshiping with Gethsemane today.
OPENING PRAYER: 2
Oh God, you are a mighty God! Nothing is as great as you. You overturn evil. You hand out justice and blessings. For you, the impossible is possible. You can even make those who died live again!
O Mighty God, continue to hold us. Do not take your hand from us. Send into our lives people who are like angels to keep watch over us, to keep us from harming others or being harmed. Make us your angels. Make us one people with the entire world, united by the blood and love of the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ. Amen.
