The Limestone Praise Chimes, under the direction of Linda Wardell, is in its eighth year at Limestone Presbyterian Church. They enjoy learning the wide variety of handbell music, from hymn arrangements to contemporary Christian music arrangements to original compositions. They play at the traditional and contemporary services monthly. Their annual summer retreat in Cape May always culminates in playing here. We are delighted to welcome them back this Summer!
The Gospel lesson (John 6:24-35) continues the image of Jesus as the bread of life. This is particularly fitting for communion Sunday when we gather at the table.
Our message this week from Mark 6 and John 6 tells the story of Jesus feeding the multitudes. They were so impressed with his powers to fill their tummies, they wanted to make Jesus King! But Jesus wants to feed our spirits so we can be sent as messengers of the Mess-iah. We will learn that Jesus takes our messes and turns us into messengers of hope and healing.
