Pentecost 13


Wisdom prepares a feast, sets her table, and invites all to come and eat her bread and drink her wine. The first chapter of John’s gospel owes much to the biblical tradition that imagined Wisdom as existing before anything was created and having a role in the work of creation. Christ, the wisdom of God (1 Cor. 1:24), today invites us to eat his flesh and drink his blood. John’s gospel includes no account of the institution of the Lord’s supper, but here we can't help hearing Jesus’ words as an invitation to the meal of bread and wine we share.
 

Read John 6:51-58

Next Sunday, August 26, our congregation will gather for a Special Congregational Meeting at 11:15 a.m. in the Parish Life Center to decide how best to move forward with the building renovation project. At the five informational forums held over this past week (the fifth and final forum will be held this Sunday at 11:15 in the AMR), the leadership has presented three possible options. These forums have been well-attended and we have received much helpful feedback from the congregation. Thank you to all who have participated in this process and for all of the input that has been shared. It has been a healthy and productive conversation.
