Good Shepherd Sunday, Mother’s Day and an announcement from a member.

Dear members and friends of St Peter’s Lutheran Church, Hobart.
 
He is Risen! We dare to believe that our Lord reigns; that life wins; that sin, death and all brokenness will be forever banished and that our Lord does care and is working all things for our ultimate good. Risen with Him, let us therefore live as His humble, repentant, unified, loving and faithful children. 
 
This Sunday, the 8th of May, is Good Shepherd Sunday and Mother’s Day. While the Lord as our loving and faithful shepherd will be the primary focus, the theme of Mother's Day will also be acknowledged in various ways including a lovely hymn to a well-known tune specially written for Mother’s Day. Even those who are not mothers can remember our mothers and give thanks to God and pray for those who are mothers and for this special role. Sunday’s service will feature a variety of well-loved, rousing and very meaningful hymns. 
 
During the announcements at the end of the service, a member will share with the congregation about their future plans.
 
He is risen indeed!
 
Easter joy, strength, perseverance and hope to you all.
 
Warm regards and blessings,
 
Pastor Mike.
Saint Peter's Lutheran Church, Hobart.
