Dear Friends,
Here are three puzzles for you this week. Good luck.
MAN STAND WEAR
BOARD I LONG
But there is one thing in which we don't need good luck, only faith. You all know what that is: our trust in Christ Jesus needs no luck, only our faith in him. He is always trustworthy, always just, always merciful, and always loving. So, come to church on Sunday to give him the honor and praise he deserves.
Oh, and if you need help solving the puzzles, call the church office. I have the answer sheet.
God Bless you ALL!

"Better Watch the Gate!"
by Pastor Diane Olson-Schroeder
Psalm 23 & John 10: 1-10
Psalm 23: 1-3
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want;
he makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters;
he restores my soul.
John 10: 3-4
"He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought them out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice."
John 10: 7
Therefore Jesus said again, "Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep."
John 10: 9
"I am the gate, whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out and find pasture."
BETTER WATCH THE GATE!
SHUT OUT STUBBORNESS AND PRIDE!
IT'S NOT THAT DIFFICULT
WHEN YOU LISTEN TO THE SHEPHERD'S CALL.
DARK VALLEYS WILL BECOME GREEN PASTURES.
WATCH THE GATE WITH FAITH–
WITH CONTENTMENT AND WITH PEACE.
Today’s Call to Worship:
The good shepherd calls us in to find shelter.
The shepherd calls us out, to eat the green grass.
The shepherd calls us in to gather, to find warmth, to be protected.
The shepherd calls us out, to drink the cool water.
The shepherd carries us when we are sick or hurting.
And he puts us down to run free when we are well again.
We enter the gate as the shepherd calls us home in safety.
And we leave again as he sends us from life in the fold to life for the world.
Today's Prayer of Dedication:
Faithful Shepherd, you call us by name and invite us to a life that is rich in meaning, deep in joy, and bold in compassion. You speak, and we long to follow–although our world is noisy and the path unclear. In this moment, we quiet our hearts to listen. Let us be used to proclaim your love to others. We pray in your name, our Savior. Amen.
Colossians 3: 15-17
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
