Adoration
Pastoral Invitation (Pastor and Ministers)
In the name of him who fed the 5,000 men, plus women and children, and who healed all of those who touched him, welcome to the ninth Sunday in Pentecost. How have you come, filled, with what, or empty, from what? (Silence for one minute.)
P: Jesus said, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry."
M: We do not live by bread alone. We also do not live long without it. To eat is to acknowledge our dependence on food, and our interdependence on each other.
