This Sunday's Gospel • John 6:24-35
The next day, when the people who remained after the feeding of the five thousand saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into the boats and went to Capernaum looking for Jesus. When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?” Jesus answered them, “Very truly, I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life. ..

VCU Students Return in August
On Wed. August 29 VCU students will be back in class, if you would like to sign up to provide lunch for VCU students please do so by clicking here . There are 13 opportunities to “Feed my Rams” so find a friend and come spend some time in the kitchen at GHTC. There is nothing like a homecooked meal in the middle of the week when you are stressed and scatterbrained. Our VCU students love knowing they are loved by parishioners of GHTC as well. If you need more information email the Rev. Kim Reinholz , Chaplain for Episcopal Campus Ministries at VCU. 

Thanks to Hutch & Toast on August 3
We are grateful to Jessica Bufford of #HutchRVA and #ToastRVA for providing 100+ meals for our Red Door guests this Friday. Be sure to like and follow them on social media and dine at these restaurants —we appreciate the support!

Food Needed Aug. 24 due to Kitchen Maintenance
In August, deferred kitchen maintenance will require the Red Door Ministry to depend on alternate kitchens to serve our Friday guests. We currently have four of the five Friday meals covered by local restaurants yet we still need volunteers to serve and clean up. If you know of a restaurant owner who may be interested in providing food on August 24, contact the Rev. Kim Reinholz at 804.359.5628 ext. 13.
