Welcome to Richmond Uniting’s Worship resources for Sunday 3 May.

We are currently not worshipping as a gathered community due to the COVID–19 pandemic – but we are still worshipping together in new ways. This audio recording can be used for worship at home, along with prayer resources and bible readings for 3 May available on the Richmond Unting Church website. You can listen to this with others or on your own.

This week in our audio worship for Easter 4, we wrestle with the metaphor that Jesus shares in John’s Gospel, of the sheepfold, the thugs, the sheep and the gate (John 10.1-10). In particular, we explore the tension of the paradoxical reality of human violence and the Divine’s invitation into abundant life.
