  2. Cambridge Chimes Welcome and Announcements Greeting Each Other

  3. Ringing of the Bell Prelude “La Vaillance”~Telemann Lighting of the candles

  4. *CALL TO WORSHIP AND INVOCATION L: It is a joy to welcome you this day! P: We are grateful and happy to be here. L: The Good Shepherd knows you and has called you here.

  5. P: We come celebrating God’s tender, caring love for us. L: Our God seeks us out, longing for us to know God’s voice. P: We ask this day to hear God’s voice and to respond with joy.

  6. L: God hopes to feed you with his Word. P: Holy and Good Shepherd, help us to know your Word deeply – with our mind and our hearts. L: Let us worship God. P: Let us worship God!

  7. *HYMN #466“O For a Thousand Tongues…” v.1 O for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer’s praise,The glories of my God and King, the triumphs of God’s grace!

  8. *HYMN #466“O For a Thousand Tongues…” v.2 Jesus, the name that charms our fears, that bids our sorrows cease;‘Tis music in the sinner’s ears, ‘tis life, and health, and peace.

  9. *HYMN #466“O For a Thousand Tongues…” v.3 Christ breaks the power of reigning sin, and sets the prisoner free;Christ’s blood can make the sinful clean, Christ’s blood availed for me.

  10. *HYMN #466“O For a Thousand Tongues…” v.4 My gracious Master and my God, assist me to proclaim,To spread through all the earth abroad the honors of Thy name.

  11. *PRAYER OF CONFESSION (unison) You long to fill us with your comfort and peace, Good Shepherd, but we continue to take on more anxiety, more worry, more fear.

  12. You would comfort us in the gentleness of your hope, but we choose the embrace of a world spinning out of control. You would feed us with more than we need,

  13. but we continue to hunger for the sweet sensations offered to us by temptation. You keep your promises and offer us forgiveness and mercy all the days of our life.

  14. May we keep our eyes focused on the path you have shaped for us; may we listen to the call of the Good Shepherd who leads us into your joy, that kingdom prepared for us by Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

  15. (silence is observed for reflection and prayer)

  16. ASSURANCEOF PARDON L: This is the good news: wherever we are, God is with us; whoever we are, God forgives us, and offers us new life. P: Because Christ is risen, we are forgiven and shall live forever. Alleluia!

  17. SPECIAL MUSIC “Love Lifted Me” ~H. SmithDuet by Norma Jones & Debra Glor

  18. Time With Young Christians

  19. PROCLAIMING THE WORD SCRIPTURE READING: Ezekiel 34:11-15

  20. For thus says the Lord God: I myself will search for my sheep, and will seek them out. As shepherds seek out their flocks when they are among their scattering sheep, so I will seek out my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places to whichthey have beenscattered on a

  21. day of clouds and thick darkness. I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land; and will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited parts ofthe land.

  22. I will feed them with the good pasture, and the mountain heights of Israel shall be their pasture; they shall lie down in good grazing land, and they shall feed on rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will makethem lie down, saysthe Lord God.

  23. SCRIPTURE READING: John 10:11-18

  24. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand, who is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away – and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.

  25. The hired hand runs away because a hired hand does not care for the sheep. I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that donot belong tothis fold.

  26. I must bring them in also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I havepower to lay itdown,

  27. and I have power to take it up again. I have received this command from my Father. L: This is the Word of the Lord. P: Thanks be to God!
