Opportunities
at Shepherd's Cross and
Heart of the Shepherd
    Chris Johnson, a student at Barclay College in Kansas, interned with us
    in the summer of 2009.  He is pictured here with the lambs.  Among his
    tasks  this summer were shepherding the flock, fence maintenance, pasture
    maintenance, and teaching the 23rd Psalm Bible Study series.

    About his internship experience, Chris says,
    "The internship provided through Heart of the Shepherd was instrumental
    in shaping how I understand the calling of a Pastor. As an under-shepherd,
    I learned a great deal about needing and trusting in the wisdom of the
    "head" shepherd. Ultimately, Christ is the Head Shepherd of His Church.
    May I ever be found an obedient "under-sheep" to care for the beloved and
    beautiful sheep!"
    Lucy Pleticha interned with Shepherd's Cross from March - August 2010.  
    Lucy studied Plant Biology so her internship included writing an update of
    the Bible Garden handbook and signs as well as leading Bible Garden
    Tours.  She also enjoyed working in the Wool Washroom and making fiber
    arts products.  

    One of Lucy's tasks in the spring was also to take care of Essie, the bottle
    baby.
