We gather on the 11th Sunday after Pentecost for worship at 10am.

Apparently not satisfied by Jesus’ feeding of thousands, some who were there press him for a sign of his power; perhaps it is daily manna they want.  As always in John’s gospel when people want a sign, Jesus offers himself.  He is the bread come from heaven to give life to the world.  He calls us to come to him and believe in him, and through that relationship to know the one who sent him.

We gather on the 10th Sunday after Pentecost for worship at 10am.

Today Jesus feeds thousands of people with five loaves and two fish.  What we have, what we bring to Jesus’ table, seems like it is not nearly enough to meet all the needs we see around us.  But it is not the adequacy of our supplies or our skills that finally makes the difference: it is the power of Jesus working in the littlest and least to transform this world into the world God desires, a world where all the hungry are satisfied.

We gather on the 9th Sunday after Pentecost for worship at 10am.

Mark’s gospel makes clear how great is the press of the crowd, with its countless needs to be met, on Jesus and his disciples.  Yet in today’s gospel Jesus advises his disciples to get away and rest, to take care of themselves.  Sometimes we think that when others are in great need we shouldn’t think of ourselves at all; but Jesus also honors the caregivers need.  We ae sent from Christ’s table to care for others and for ourselves.

We gather on 8th Sunday after Pentecost for worship at 10am.

When Amos reports his visions of God judging Israel for its mistreatment of the poor, he becomes a threat to the power of the priests and the king.  John the Baptist also speaks truth to power, and Herod has him killed.  In Herod’s fear that Jesus is John returned from the dead, we may heart hope for the oppressed all the prophets killed through the ages are alive in Jesus.  We are called to witness to justice in company with them, ant to proclaim God’s saving love.
