O God, we confess that we have not lived up to the confidence You have placed
in us, especially in our family relationships.
Wherein we as children have failed to heed the Christian counsel of our par-
ents, or have refused to walk the Christian way they showed us, forgive us.
Wherein we as children have failed have failed to be sensitive to the needs of
our parents as they have grown older, or have failed to honor their right to be
themselves, forgive us.
Wherein we as parents have failed to find the right mixture of discipline and
love in dealing with our children, forgive us.
Wherein we as parents have failed to recognize the uniqueness of each of our
children and to take that uniqueness seriously, forgive us.
Wherein we have blamed our parents for the mess in our lives, and have
avoided taking our own personal responsibility for what we do, forgive us.
Let this day of memory and promise be one in which a new spirit of family
love may rule in our hearts. Amen.

der, physical disability or religious affiliation.
- Communion, when celebrated, is open to all who profess Christ as Lord and Sav-
ior, whether affiliated with this church or not. Children may partake of Commun-
ion as well, if parents approve.
- A nursery is available during the service; please see a greeter for directions. (This
is for infants and children up to 3 years of age.)
- Handicap-accessible restrooms are located off the narthex (main foyer) and adja-
cent to the entrance lobby in the Fellowship Hall/Gym.

the offering plate so we will have a record of your visit with us today.

us often!

CHURCH CAMPS Our New Hope Children will be attending two camps this
year at Crystal Springs Camp in Kelso, TN. Our first camp is Junior High
Camp for kids going into 7th, 8th and 9th grades. We will be leaving out for
this camp just after church on Sunday, June 8th and the kids will return home
on Friday, June 13th in the afternoon. The second camp is Junior Camp for
kids in Upper Elementary going into the 4th, 5th, and 6th grades. We will also
be leaving out for this camp just after church on Sunday June 22nd and the kids
will return on Friday, June 27th in the afternoon. The cost of each camp is $85
for kids who attend New Hope Church and $170 if they have friends who want
to go but do not attend the church. If any child needs help in affording camp
please see the Youth Pastor Brad Unland or the Assistant to the Pastor Robbie
Haynes for more information. Every child needs to fill out health and camp reg-
istration forms and those can be picked up in the church office. The kids inter-
ested in camp will receive these forms this Sunday, May 4th during Children's
Church. Camp has opportunities for kids to worship together and grow in Christ.
They will also spend time swimming, fishing, making crafts, and eating (they
eat a lot at camp!). We hope our kids are getting excited about this summer and
all the great experiences they can explore. Contact Brad for details: e-mail:
rbunland@yahoo.com; home phone 772-4680.

Worship Scripture References
Psalm 23 New International Version (NIV)
A psalm of David.
1
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3
he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his names sake.
4
Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
[a]

I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6
Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
Footnotes:
a. Psalm 23:4 Or the valley of the shadow of death

1 Peter 2:19-25 New International Version (NIV)
19
For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering be-
cause they are conscious of God.
20
But how is it to your credit if you receive a beat-
ing for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure
it, this is commendable before God.
21
To this you were called, because Christ suf-
fered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.
22
He committed no sin,
and no deceit was found in his mouth.
[a]

23
When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he
made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.
24
He him-
self bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for
righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.
25
For you were like sheep
going astray,
[b]
but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your
souls.

a. 1 Peter 2:22 Isaiah 53:9
b. 1 Peter 2:25 Isaiah 53:4,5,6 (see Septuagint)

John 10:1-10 New International Version (NIV)
The Good Shepherd and His Sheep
10 Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the
gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber.
2
The one who enters
by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
3
The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and
the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4
When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow
him because they know his voice.
5
But they will never follow a stranger; in fact,
they will run away from him because they do not recognize a strangers voice.
6
Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was
telling them.
7
Therefore Jesus said again, Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.
8
All
who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to
them.
9
I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.
[a]
They will come in
and go out, and find pasture.
10
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I
have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
