10th Sunday after Pentecost, Lectionary 17 year B
PREPARING FOR SUNDAY
All your works shall praise | you, O Lord,
and your faithful | ones shall bless you.
11They shall tell of the glory | of your kingdom
and speak | of your power,
12that all people may know | of your power
and the glorious splendor | of your kingdom. Psalm 145:10-12
Today is the first of five Sundays with gospel readings from John 6, the first four of which focus on Jesus as bread of life. Today Jesus feeds thousands of people with five loaves and two fish. What we have, what we bring to Jesus’ table, seems like it is not nearly enough to meet all the needs we see around us. But it is not the adequacy of our supplies or our skills that finally makes the difference: it is the power of Jesus working in the littlest and least to transform this world into the world God desires, a world where all the hungry are satisfied.
Lectionary:
- 2 Kings 4:42-44 Elisha feeding a hundred people
- Psalm 145:10-18 You open wide your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing. (Ps. 145:16)
- Ephesians 3:14-21 Prayer for wisdom, strength, and Christ’s indwelling
- John 6:1-21 Christ feeding the five thousand

Upcoming Commemorations
Johann Sebastian Bach, died 1750 (PICTURED); Heinrich Schütz, died 1672; George Frederick Handel, died 1759; musicians Sunday, July 28, 2024
These three German-born musicians have done much to enrich the life of the church. Schütz was an early master who focused on settings of biblical texts. Bach wrote over 300 cantatas along with works for organ and instrumental pieces, and has been called the "fifth evangelist" for the way he proclaimed the gospel in music. Handel's great work, Messiah, is a setting of scriptural texts.
Mary, Martha, and Lazarus of Bethany Monday, July 29, 2024
Friends of Jesus, Mary and Martha are remembered for the hospitality of their home that they offered him—Martha focused on serving their guest, and Mary on listening to him. Their brother Lazarus was raised from the dead as a sign of the greater resurrection to come.
Olaf, King of Norway, martyr, died 1030 Monday, July 29, 2024
Considered the patron saint of Norway, Olaf went from a life of piracy to becoming Christian and declaring himself king of Norway. He revised the laws and tried to administer them fairly. Driven from Norway in a rebellion, he was killed in battle trying to regain his kingdom.
