I have just returned from a wonderful invitation to lead a Mens Retreat for The Brotherhood of Saint Andrew of The Diocese of Oklahoma. My very good friend Fr. David Bumstead, The Rector of St. John’s Episcopal Church, Tulsa OK, also invited me to Celebrate Eucharist, Preach, and Officiate at Evensong this past Sunday, May 8th. 

Deeply encouraged by the vitality and life of this parish, as well as the new friendships made with the members of the Brotherhood, my cup is running over. 

Hope this sermon from the Gospel for the day, John 10:22-30, captures the gift of “Confident Companionship”  that is ours as we hear the voice of the Good Shepherd and follow him. I begin with a few personal comments, and then the heart of my sermon.

With you on The Journey,

Rob+
