One of the top stories on Ithaca Journal today is about a large portion of the population’s growing reliance on food banks for their daily bread. Click here to read this article. Hunger is a continued, pressing need throughout the world, and it can often seem overwhelming.
Every Sunday we pray together, “give us this day our daily bread,” and for many around the world, that prayer is an urgent one, a plea for food for today. This Sunday, we’ll celebrate World Communion Sunday, when the sharing of a simple meal reminds us of our common need for daily bread. The practice of Communion also challenges us, for there is more than enough room and more than enough food for all – at God’s communion table, and in our daily lives.
A shared meal has the power to bring us together and to participate in God’s work of feeding the world – physically and spiritually. So come, this week, to be nourished, and to be challenged. Be transformed by the presence of Christ in community. Looking forward to seeing you!
Blessings,
Manda
