St. Alexander Church

Hello Friends,

We wish to welcome you to St Alexander this weekend as we celebrate the beautiful Good Shepherd Sunday! As we gather on the fourth Sunday of Easter, we reflect on the profound themes of guidance, care, and community that the Good Shepherd embodies.

First Reading: Acts 2:14a, 36b-41

In our first reading from the Acts of the Apostles, we hear Peter boldly proclaiming the message of Christ to the crowd. He calls them to repentance and emphasizes the power of baptism in the name of Jesus. This passage reminds us of the transformative power of faith and the importance of community in our journey. Just as Peter called upon the early Christians to embrace their faith, we too are invited to deepen our commitment to Christ and to one another.

Second Reading: 1 Peter 2:20b-25

Moving to the second reading, we hear from 1 Peter, where we are reminded of the suffering Christ endured for our sake. This passage speaks to the enduring love of the Good Shepherd, who lays down His life for His sheep. It encourages us to follow in His footsteps, embracing our own challenges with grace and patience. We are called to be shepherds to one another, offering support and love in times of need.

Gospel: John 10:1-10

Finally, in the Gospel from John, Jesus reveals Himself as the Good Shepherd, declaring that He knows His sheep and they know Him. This intimate relationship underscores the trust and love that exists between us and our Savior. Jesus promises that He comes to give us life, and life abundantly. As we reflect on this passage, let us remember that we are all called to recognize His voice amidst the noise of the world, and to extend that love and care to those around us.

As we celebrate this weekend, let us welcome one another with open hearts, recognizing that we are all part of this flock, guided by the love of our Good Shepherd. Whether you are a long-time member or visiting for the first time, know that you are cherished and valued here at St Alexander Church. Together, let us embrace the call to be shepherds in our community, embodying the love and compassion that Christ shows us.

May this Sunday fill you with peace and joy, and may we all grow together in faith and fellowship. You are always welcome. Come as you are. You are home!
