Psalm 23 | Many have heard (and perhaps memorized) Psalm 23. As a beloved psalm, it’s often recited near the time of death, or after a loved one has died. But what does this psalm have to say to those of us who are living? And, for those who are embarking on new journeys – like our graduates? Whether facing a new chapter that’s before us, or whether we find ourselves continuing the journey that has come before, join us as we heed the pursuit of our Shepherd who pulls us into his groove of life and love, and as we are sent in freedom to make a beautiful, beautiful song with our lives.
