A season of bread

Over the next few Sundays, the Lectionary readings from the Gospel of John will focus on Jesus' miraculous feeding of the multitude and what it means that he is the "Bread of Life." This "Season of Bread" coincides with a time when local food banks are starved for donations. With people away for the summer, food drives tend to screech to a halt. Perhaps your congregation might consider collecting non-perishable food items during the month of August and donating them to a nearby food bank. Let's make this a "Season of Bread" that gives food to the hungry while feeding us spiritually.
