OPENING HYMN "Be Still, My Soul"
Be still, my soul; the Lord is on your side; Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
Leave it to God to order and provide; In ev'ry change he faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul; your best, your heav'nly Friend Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
Be still, my soul; your God will undertake To guide the future as he has the past.
Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake; All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul; the waves and winds still know His voice who ruled them while he dwelt below.

Be still, my soul; though dearest friends depart And all is darkened in the vale of tears;
Then you will better know his love, his heart, Who comes to soothe your sorrows and your fears.
Be still, my soul; your Jesus can repay From all his fullness all he takes away.
Be still, my soul; the hour is hast'ning on When we shall be forever with the Lord,
When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone, Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul; when change and tears are past, All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
THE PSALMS (spoken in unison)
PsALM 121 I lift up my eyes to the hills. From whence does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved, he who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade on your right hand. The sun shall not smite you by day, nor the moon by night.
The LORD will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and for evermore.
P SALM 23
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. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies; thou anointest my head with oil, my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
THE SCRIPTURE LESSON sus is speaking, "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.
"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 awayand the wolf snatches them and scatters them. 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 do not belong to this fold. I must bring them 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 have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it up again. I have received this command from my Father. "
j OHN 10:1-18
HYMN "Rejoice, 0 Pilgrim Throng"
Rejoice, 0 pilgrim throng! Rejoice, give thanks and sing;
Your festal banner wave on high, The cross of Christ your king. Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice, give thanks and sing!
With voice as full and strong As ocean's surging praise,
Send forth the sturdy hymns of old, The psalms of ancient days. Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice, give thanks and sing!
With all the angel choirs, With all the saints on earth
Pour out the strains of joy and bliss, True rapture, noblest mirth. Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice, give thanks and sing!
Yet on, and onward still, With hymn and chant and song,
Through gate and porch and columned aisle The hallowed pathways throng. Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice, give thanks and sing!
Still lift your standard high, Still march in firm array,
As pilgrims through the darkness wend Till dawns the golden day. Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice, give thanks and sing!

At last the march shall end; The wearied ones shall rest;
The pilgrims find their home at last, Jerusalem the blest. Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice, give thanks and sing!
Praise him who reigns on high, The Lord whom we adore:
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, One God forevermore. Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice, give thanks and sing!
THE PASTOR'S MESSAGE
"THE Good Shepherd- and some others" j OHN 10:11
HYMN "Amazing Grace"
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost but now am found, Was blind but now I see!
The Lord has promised good to me, His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures
Through many dangers, toils, and snares I have already come;
His grace has brought me safe so far, His grace will see me home.
Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail And mortal life shall cease,
Amazing grace shall then prevail In heaven's joy and peace.

THE PRAYER
THE L0 RD SPRAYER (spoken in unison)
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
THE BENEDICTION
Pastor: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
People: (spoken) AMEN
THE CLOSING HYMN ''A M ighty Fortress"
A mighty fortress is our God, A trusty shield and weapon; He helps us &ee from ev'ry need That hath us now o'ertaken.
The old evil foe Now means deadly woe; Deep guile and great might Are his dread arms in fight;
On earth is not his equal.
With might of ours can naught be done, Soon were our loss effected;
But for us fights the valiant One, Whom God himself elected. Ask ye, Who is this? Jesus Christ it is,
Of sabaoth Lord, And there's none other God; He holds the field forever.

Though devils all the world should Hll, All eager to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill, They shall not overpow'r us.
This world's prince may still Scowl fierce as he will, He can harm us none, He's judged; the deed is done;
One little word can fell him.
The Word they still shall let remain Nor any thanks have for it; He's by our side upon the plain With his good gifts and Spirit.
And take they our life, Goods, fame, child, and wife, Though these all be gone, Our viet'ry has been won;
The Kingdom ours remaineth.
