Pastor Trudy's Message

Still hungry! More than 5000 people ate as much bread as they wanted and now they are searching for Jesus. Is it because they are hoping he will just keep their bellies full or was the bread a sign of who Jesus is? Do we always recognize abundance as a sign of who Jesus is?

God of abundance, You provide for us in many, many ways. Help us to remember that all we have has come from You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Why don’t we have a vicar this year?

• Pour out your wisdom into the hearts of the whole church, especially the newly baptized, lay leaders, deacons, pastors, and bishops.
• Where the sun blazes hard and strong, bring a gentle breeze. In the places experiencing the cold of winter, bring your warmth.
• Help government leaders of this world unite for peace and justice. Humble all who hold authority, that power is directed toward a more just society.
• Fill all who hunger with needed nutrition and open our hearts to eliminate hunger in this world. May we see a day when all are fed.
• Be with congregations experiencing transition, redevelopment, and the exciting yet frightening path of newness. May your wisdom be found at every step.

We lift up these prayers to you, gracious God. Receive them into your holy keeping.

Amen.
