FROM THE RECTOR
It’s the Season of Easter at Saint Michael and we’re glad you’re here! Please take a moment to fill out the welcome card, either physically or digitally, that can be found on the opposite page or in the pew back in front of you. Our Welcome Team members are in the hallways today to help you with anything you need.
Our Easter season celebration continues today in worship and in our classes for all ages (schedule to the right). In addition to worship on Sundays, I hope you’ll take advantage of the weekday meditations offered by our Saint Michael clergy from now through Pentecost, May 28. Please take a look at the back of this bulletin for the special events coming up, as well as excellent opportunities to serve in the community.
As we prepare to worship together, I invite you to take a moment and center yourself on God’s presence. Worshiping, learning, and giving together help us grow closer to who God created us to be, and you’re part of that work. May God bless you today and every day, and I hope to see you again very soon!

The Collect of the Day: 5:30 PM
O God, whose Son Jesus is the good shepherd of your people: Grant that when we hear his voice we may know him who calls us each by name, and follow where he leads; who, with you and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
The First Lesson Acts 2:42-47
Those who had been baptized devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. Awe came upon everyone, because many wonders and signs were being done by the apostles. All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need. Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having the goodwill of all the people. And day by day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.
Lector The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God.
Psalm 23
The LORD is my shepherd; * I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures * and leads me beside still waters. He revives my soul * and guides me along right pathways for his Name’s sake. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil; * for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You spread a table before me in the presence of those who trouble me; * you have anointed my head with oil, and my cup is running over.
3
Surely your goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, * and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
The Second Lesson 1 Peter 2:19-25
It is a credit to you if, being aware of God, you endure pain while suffering unjustly. If you endure when you are beaten for doing wrong, what credit is that? But if you endure when you do right and suffer for it, you have God’s approval. For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you should follow in his steps. “He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.” When he was abused, he did not return abuse; when he suffered, he did not threaten; but he entrusted himself to the one who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that, free from sins, we might live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed. For you were going astray like sheep, but now you have returned to the shepherd and guardian of your souls.
Lector The Word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.
The Gospel John 10:1-10
Jesus said, “Very truly, I tell you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate but climbs in by another way is a thief and a bandit. The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice. They will not follow a stranger, but they will run from him because they do not know the voice of strangers.” Jesus used this figure of speech with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them. So again Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and bandits; but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate. Whoever enters by me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”
The preceding text of the worship service contained in this order of worship is taken from the Book of Common Prayer 1979. The Book of Common Prayer alone is of authority in the worship of the Episcopal Church. This program is provided for convenience of use on this occasion.

THE
GREAT PROPHETS OF THE BIBLE
Led by Chris Girata in Saint Michael Chapel
The Major and Minor Prophets of the Bible help us understand what prophecy means. The collection of books from Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, and Daniel, as well as Jonah, Micah, and more offer revelations from God about promises of the future. Messages of judgment, mercy, and hope are written all over this collection of biblical books. Come discover what God is still revealing to us through these ancient voices.
FOLLOWING CHRIST IN DEEP WATERS
Led by Brady Millican & Barbara Kennard | Coke Room
Parishioners will explore Gerard Manley Hopkins’ poem, The Wreck of the Deutschland, written in 1877. Our interest will center on the author’s experience of the challenges and joys of Christian life. Hopefully, we will find greater strength for our own journeys in the power of Hopkins’ testimony to the perpetual presence of Christ’s care and love. Copies of the poem will be provided, as well as a link to a recording.

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” Scripture begins with the cosmological, the order of the universe, but what is our place in it? Join us on a four-week study as we explore our place in the created order of the universe and draw on scripture, philosophy, and science to begin forming an idea of how a biblical cosmology exists side by side with modern science.
