This Sunday the Gospel passage is the Feeding of the 5000. \u00a0This miracle of Jesus (feeding 5000 people from only 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish) is something that we can try to mirror in our own lives by supporting our partner Food Pantry at the CCNW. \u00a0Perhaps buying and donating\u00a0food is less miraculous, but the support of the hungry is the exact same. \u00a0With that in mind\u00a0I invite you join my family this Sunday in bringing in several items for the Food Pantry. \u00a0The summer is a notoriously difficult time for many food pantries – people who donate go on vacation or take time off, but those who rely on the food pantry still need to eat. \u00a0The Food Pantry depends on donations of food, and the items they tend to need the most are:<\/p>\n
Canned fruit and vegetables<\/strong> If everyone brings in 5 boxes of pasta and two cans of fish (or something \u00a0else that isn’t quite so obviously parallel to the Gospel), we could make a wonderful summer donation to the food pantry. \u00a0If you are at the store in the next few days, please take the opportunity to buy something for the CCNW Food Pantry! \u00a0I am off to Trader Joe’s to pick some things us right now! \u00a0See you Sunday!!!<\/p>\n Matthew 14:13-21<\/strong> This Sunday the Gospel passage is the Feeding of the 5000. \u00a0This miracle of Jesus (feeding 5000 people

\nJesus withdrew in a boat to a deserted place by himself. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns. When he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them and cured their sick. When it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is now late; send the crowds away so that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.” Jesus said to them, “They need not go away; you give them something to eat.” They replied, “We have nothing here but five loaves and two fish.” And he said, “Bring them here to me.” Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full. And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
