Bible Reading & Reflection
Thursday morning, 9:00 am at the Summit Mall food court. We are reading through the Psalms. It is a time of good community and listening to scripture as it was originally intended.

Worship Services
Sunday 9:30 am the theme is "The Messy Shepherd". The scripture is from John 10:11-18 about the Good
Shepherd. A more accurate translation might be the "right shepherd." Shepherds are of the lowest
rung of society in Jesus' time. Yet, their role is vital in caring, protecting, guiding, and saving the
sheep.
May 3rd is the last Sunday for the 11:15 am worship service.
Friday Taize song, prayer, scripture and quiet 6:00 pm


Conversations
Folks gather with David Loar, our pastor, at Angel Falls Coffee shop on West Market Street in Highland Square on Tuesdays, 5:30-7:00 pm and Fridays at the Nervous Dog Coffee Bar at 1530 W Market Street on the east end of the Wallhaven neighborhood (across the street from where Harcourt ends at Market Street) 1:30 to 4:00 pm. Other than Mondays, you can set up more private conversation with David by contacting him at deloar@yahoo.com or 330-760-7169. On Tues April 28 David will be unavailable. However, call him at 330-760-7169 to see if there might be some other folks gathering at Angel Falls.

We will not grow in our faith with out the discipline and practice of the observance of our Lord's Passion and Resurrection. If we make this week about us and how we feel and what we get out of it, we will not grow. We will come up empty. As Jesus said to his disciples in the Garden, "Can you not watch with me for at least a little while?!"
