Carried…
I had a conversation today with a dear friend and he asked during the conversation, “Is it possible for a sinner to go to a sacrament?” Now take for a moment that my friend use to be Catholic… It is a very profound question.

The Fullness of You…
Prayer of Invocation: Isaiah 55: 1-9 We gather today, O Lord of Life, seeking fullness. Not the fullness our world offers, but fullness that comes from You.

John 6:24-35 (NRSV) So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into the boats and went to Capernaum looking for Jesus.
