   - We will be using Psalm 23 and John 10:1-10 for scripture texts during
   worship.
   - "Who has been a shepherd to your faith? Is there someone who has been
   an inspiration or model for you on your faith journey?  Who is that person?
    How would you describe how s/he has influenced your faith?"
   - Please reflect on these questions this week.  You will be invited to
   respond briefly during the sermon time this coming Sunday, May 11.

*Isaiah 43:1-7, NRSV*

*1 But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed
you, O Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by
name, you are mine. 2When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through
fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. 3For I
am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I give Egypt as
your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in exchange for you. 4Because you are
precious in my sight, and honored, and I love you, I give people in return
for you, nations in exchange for your life. 5Do not fear, for I am with
you; I will bring your offspring from the east, and from the west I will
gather you; 6I will say to the north, “Give them up,” and to the south, “Do
not withhold; bring my sons from far away and my daughters from the end of
the earth—7everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory,
whom I formed and made.”*
