Notes of Joy - Week of August 1
This Week's Gospel: John 6:24-35
Apparently not satisfied by Jesus’ feeding of thousands, some who were there press him for a sign of his power; perhaps it is daily manna they want. As always in John’s gospel when people want a sign, Jesus offers himself. He is the bread come from heaven to give life to the world. He calls us to come to him and believe in him, and through that relationship to know the one who sent him.

Communion Plan Update
We will be transitioning to communion on the 2nd and 4th Sundays in July and August.

On these Sundays, ushers will direct people to two communion stations at the front. At each station, we will use the pre-packaged communion wafers/wine. Pastor Sean will be at one station and we will need a communion assistant at the other. You can signup for this on the Worship Assistant Schedule on the bulletin board in the narthex. See Pr. Sean if you have any questions or want a little instruction. All are welcome!

** Communion will be offered next on August 8 **
