The Shepherds of God's Flock
Parent’s Corner- July 15, 2018
“Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them- not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.”
1 Peter 5: 2-3
I’m so thankful for all of you who are living out the charge of this verse. I am encouraged by all of you who desire to serve the body by serving our youngest members, and by providing a Christ-centered example, both in your words and actions. May the Lord encourage you in your shepherding this week!
