Voting Members needed for Synod Assembly June 13

th - 15

th

This year’s annual Synod Assembly for our SWPA Synod is being held at California University of PA, from June 13th-15

th (Thursday

through Saturday). St. Matthias may send 2 voting members to this year’s assembly (1 male and 1 female voting member). The costs of attending the assembly are covered by St. Matthias. This year includes the bishop’s election. Our current Bishop, Kurt Kusserow, may be re-elected, or a new bishop may be chosen. If you’d like to attend this year’s assembly, please contact Pastor Paul. Also, Pastor Paul will be serving as the chairperson of the elections committee again at this year’s assembly.

Jesus said, “I came that they

may have life, and have it

abundantly. I am the good

shepherd.” John 10:10b-11a

In the gospel passage where Jesus proclaims Himself

as “the Good Shepherd”, He shares His ultimate

purpose with the words “I came that they may have

life, and have it abundantly”.

What is it that you have in abundance, and would

like to offer thanks to God? A home to live in? A

family? Loving friends, neighbors, or co-workers?

A meaningful job? Do you have adequate food,

clothing, and shelter? A car, truck, or van to get

around in? Adequate health care? Access to

technology like a TV, a smart phone, computer, or

internet access? A church family? People who pray

for you? A warm place to sleep at night? A God

who was willing to die for you, and rise from the

dead for you, so that you could have life, and have it

abundantly?

There’s so much we have in abundance, and so much

to be thankful for. As we celebrate Jesus’ death and

resurrection, we remember and give thanks to God

for all that He so abundantly continues to provide.

And we remember that it all comes from our

generous and loving Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ,

our Risen Savior and Lord. Thanks be to God!

In Christ,

Pastor Paul
