Our Shepherd Remains
The Scriptures repeatedly hold up sheep and shepherd as ways to think about ourselves and to think about our Lord's care for us.
Concerning the sheep, it is their waywardness, their stubbornness, their unruliness that gives real insight into our lives and our struggles with sin. In addition, very much like sheep, we are often head down and grazing away completely unaware of our sinful ways.
Concerning the shepherd, the shepherd sees the waywardness, sees the stubbornness, sees the unruliness, yet, because of who he is, because of his desire for the sheep, the shepherd, guards, protects, and defends the sheep. The sheep may struggle, fight, perhaps even bite their shepherd. Nevertheless, our shepherd remains, endures, and cares for his sheep.

MLS Fundraiser Survey
MLS is gauging interest in a special spring fundraiser, a Sporting Clay Tournament. Benefits from this event would go towards Little Lambs Scholarship Fund. An email was sent out to church and school families with the link, but in case you didn't receive it, please consider filling out
this survey to determine the level of interest in this event. Should there be enough interest, we can secure a date and time for the event. Thank you!
