Proper 13.B.24
Ephesians 4:1-16
The Rev. Melanie McCarley
In his letter to the Ephesians, St. Paul makes a case for unity. He writes: “I, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”
Proper 12.B.24
John 6:1-21
The Rev. Melanie McCarley
The story of the “Feeding of the Five Thousand” is one of the best known and well loved miracles found in the Bible—and with good reason. It is the only miracle recorded in all four Gospels. In fact, the symbol of bread and fish is an ancient one, dating back to the earliest days of Christianity—as a symbol both of the Eucharist, and a reminder of this particular miracle—that Jesus took five barley loaves and two fish and fed five thousand hungry people.
