WEEKLY REFLECTION | Fourth Sunday of Easter, May 8, 2022

This week’s lectionary readings are full of references to sheep and lambs. Those of you who know me well or have heard me preach before on this Sunday, typically called Good Shepherd Sunday, know that I have an attitude about sheep, having grown up in farm country.
