Greeting in the name of our Lord Jesus, The Good Shepherd. On Sunday, March 10th Good Shepherd will begin meeting for worship, prayer, fellowship and Holy Eucharist at 3:00 pm at Church of the Springs.. Additionally, the time “springs forward” one hour on Sunday morning.

As we continue our journey with God this Lenten season, let us draw close to God that he may lead us to more fully understand His love for us and our neighbors.

Lord, who throughout these forty days

For us didst fast and pray,

Teach us with Thee to mourn our sins

And close by Thee to stay.

As Thou with Satan didst contend,

And didst the victory win,

O give us strength in Thee to fight,

In Thee to conquer sin.

As Thou didst hunger bear, and thirst,

So teach us, gracious Lord,

To die to self, and chiefly live

By Thy most holy Word.

And through these days of penitence,

And through Thy passiontide,

Yea, evermore in life and death,

Jesus, with us abide.

Abide with us, that so, this life

Of suffering over past,

An Easter of unending joy

We may attain at last.

Claudia Frances Hernaman, 1838-1898
