INTRODUCTION to the DAY
In today’s first reading God invites all who are hungry or thirsty to receive food and drink without cost. Jesus feeds the hungry multitude and reveals the abundance of God. At the eucharistic table we remember all who are hungry or poor in our world today. As we share the bread of life, we are sent forth to give ourselves away as bread for the hungry.

The Global Mission Team joins with others around the world in praying for the people of Kumamoto, Japan, following the recent earthquake.

We lift all who have been affected, emergency responders, community leaders, and all those working to bring aid supplies and restoration.

We also hold our mission personnel and our partners in the Japan Evangelical Lutheran Church (JELC) in prayer. May they know God's presence as they accompany their communities with compassion, courage, and faith.

God of mercy, strengthen those who are weary, comfort those who are grieving, protect those who are serving others, and surround the people of Kumamoto with your peace.

All are welcome this Sunday at 10:30am either in person or on YouTube.

SUNDAY SCHOOL and CHILD CARE is on a summer recess and will resume on September 13.

INTRODUCTION to the DAY
As Solomon prays for wisdom, we seek to more deeply know the treasures of faith. In today’s gospel Jesus offers everyday images that reveal to us the reign of God: a tree that becomes a sheltering home, yeast that penetrates and expands, a treasured pearl, a net that gains a great catch. Even as we seek the riches of God’s reign, the great surprise is that God’s grace finds us first!
