4th Sunday of Easter, April 22, 2018
Scripture: John 10:11-18
Sermon Title: "I am the Good Shepherd", Matt Crane
Capsule: In the Gospel reading for April 22 Jesus declares himself to be the Good Shepherd, the one who lays down his life for the sheep. Further, Jesus says the hired hand runs at the prospect of danger while the Good Shepherd remains. Sunday's sermon will explore what it means that Jesus remained, died and rose again...one sure implication being that because he got up, so too can we from whatever has pulled us down; and this by the grace and power of the Holy Spirit.

Worship at the Presbyterian Church in Sudbury is centered on God’s word, and with music and prayer and preaching, we celebrate both God’s love for and challenges to us as we seek to be faithful followers of Jesus Christ and his teachings. As with many churches, our members come from different religious backgrounds and have a variety of music and worship styles and preferences. During the school year, we have two different styles of worship on Sunday mornings.
The following summarizes the distinctions between our two Sunday morning services.
*9:30AM – The music in this service is led by a praise band of members, usually more contemporary in style, with the words projected onto a screen in the front of the sanctuary. There is also a time with children early during this service, after which the children attend church school.
**11:00AM – The order of this service is familiar to those raised presbyterian. The music in this service is led by a choir, which normally sings an anthem during the service. Hymns, rather than praise music, are chosen from the new presbyterian hymnal, and may include both traditional and more modern hymn settings.
***Summer 10:00AM - This service is similar to the 11:00AM service except the choir does not sing. Music and hymns are led by the Director of Music.
In all worship services, we hear a sermon, based on a scripture text and preached to build faith and equip us to serve God. We normally also include a prayer time when worshipers have the opportunity to share joys and concerns, and an offering to support the missions and programs of the church is received. On the first Sunday of each month, we observe the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper (Communion.)
