In this week's episode, we begin a six-session exploration of the most famous biblical Psalm - Psalm 23. We will be examining this beautiful and familiar poem in a verse-by-verse fashion, taking one verse per week. Our special guest for this week is Mr. Mark Pace, who is the North Carolina historical specialist at the Thornton Library here in Oxford. Mark will be sharing with us details about the history of faith here in Granville County and thoughts about how our own church fits into that larger picture. He will also weave into his remarks some observations about the significance of our biblical theme this week. We are pleased to welcome Mark to the microphone this week, and we hope this episode on "God as Our Shepherd" will be uplifting and comforting for every listener. Amen.
