Sunday, April 21
Conversation on our Social Justice Ministry’s Future Direction
Join us Sunday, April 21 at 11:30 am in the Chapel. Fr. Paul would like to gather people who are interested in Social Justice for a discussion on how St. Andrew’s might continue this work going forward. What are the needs in our world we feel called to address? What strengths does our congregation bring to this work? What are our growth edges? How might we best organize ourselves to do the work God is calling us to? Please bring your questions, hopes, and concerns for discussion.
Solar Eclipse Glasses Recycling
Did you know you can donate your solar eclipse glasses? Planet Blue at the University of Michigan is working with Eclipse Glasses USA to collect solar eclipse glasses that will be sent to Latin America, where school children can use them to watch the October 2024 eclipse. Your glasses can brighten their experience! Please drop them in the box in the Narthex by April 30. Contact Bill Bryan at with questions or for alternative drop-off options.
Thank you!!
Thank you so much for your generosity in helping the Church School collect enough money for our foster child Khalid. You were so generous that, in addition to supporting Khalid, we can buy some animals for other families to be self-sustaining. The kids are voting today in their classrooms to decide between sheep, goats, hens and ducks, or pigs.

Hymn 343: Shepherd of souls
This, the fourth Sunday of Easter, is called “Shepherd Sunday” because all the readings describe God as our shepherd; so we sing this hymn appealing to Jesus as the Shepherd of our souls. The hymn then moves on to scriptural promises of nourishment, applying them to the Eucharist and seeking God’s provision and presence there. The combination of metaphors reflects the text’s composite origins: the first two verses are anonymous, the second two known to be by James Montgomery, (1771-1854), a working man in Sheffield; a journalist, he was a steadfast foe of slavery, child labor, and all forms of social injustice. - Donna Wessel Walker
The Lord is My Shepherd (Rutter)
This setting of Psalm 23, originally composed by John Rutter (b. 1945) in 1976, also forms the sixth movement of his Requiem, completed in 1985. The music, with its gently scored arpeggios in the accompaniment, is an arrangement of the traditional Irish melody “St. Columba.” - Dennis Powers
