MESSAGE FROM SUNDAY JUNE 28, 2026
The Good Shepherd
John 10
Let’s focus on this metaphor today, first on God’s sheep and then on Jesus the Good Shepherd.
The sheep are referenced in a sheepfold, they gather and stay together. Sheep hear the shepherd’s voice; they listen and follow it. Sheep discern other voices and will not follow the direction of a stranger. Sheep know the shepherd and maintain a strong relationship with their shepherd. So too we should gather regularly in our sheepfold, our local churches, for support, direction, and fellowship. We too must listen to and discern the voice of Jesus being wary of anti-biblical voices. We too need to nourish an intimate relationship with Jesus through prayer, biblical reflection and community fellowship.
The Good Shepherd knows His sheep individually; he intimately calls us by name and knows our lives. Jesus is the door; He is the gate keeper, the door keeper. He invites us to follow His way through the door to experience a spiritual life, an abundant life far beyond the physical life we are living, an eternal life. He keeps us on the right path. He gives his life for his sheep and predicted the immense authority of His complete and eternal salvation.
It is for us to determine to start hearing or to keep hearing wherever we are in our personal Faith. Listen to God’s voice through Jesus as in this chapter of John’s gospel. Read about this reminder of God’s love and become his sheep as children of God. Accept with thanksgiving the invitation to open the door and to open our hearts knowing that through faith we will be saved.

OUR CENTENNIAL YEAR
In the summer of 1920 the Aldridges, along with 18 members of the girls choir and a cook from Silverthorne Methodist Church in Toronto where Rev. Aldrige was pastor, camped in this area using two World-War-I army tents.
Rev. Aldridge initiated the present subdivision by approaching Jonathan Tripp, a farmer whose land ran to the water. They struck a deal for the land and Rev. Aldridge’s wife “Nellie” gave the name “Woodland Beach.”
