CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESSAll may make the sign of the cross, the sign marked at baptism, as the presiding minister begins.

Blessed be the holy Trinity, ☩ one God,the God of manna,the God of miracles,the God of mercy.Amen.

Drawn to Christ and seeking God’s abundance,let us confess our sin.Silence is kept for reflection.

God, our provider,help us.It is hard to believe there is enough to share.We question your ways when they differ from the waysof the world in which we live.We turn to our own understandingrather than trusting in you.We take offense at your teachings and your ways.Turn us again to you.Where else can we turn?Share with us the words of eternal lifeand feed us for life in the world.Amen. Beloved people of God:in Jesus, the manna from heaven,you are fed and nourished.By Jesus, the worker of miracles,there is always more than enough.Through Jesus, ☩ the bread of life,you are shown God’s mercy:you are forgiven and loved into abundant life.Amen.   PRAYER OF THE DAYLet us pray, Gracious God, your blessed Son came down from heaven to be the true bread that gives life to the world. Give us this bread always, that he may live in us and we in him, and that, strengthened by this food, we may live as his body in the world, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.Amen. .

PLEASE SIT AS YOU ARE ABLE

WORD 

First Reading: 1 Kings 19:4-8First Kings chapter 18 describes the contest between Elijah and the prophets of Baal. The contest proves that the LORD is God, and afterward Elijah orders the killing of the Baal prophets. Angered by the deaths of her prophets, Queen Jezebel threatens to kill Elijah. This reading finds Elijah fleeing, fatigued, and in utter despair. 4[Elijah] went a day’s journey into the wilderness and came and sat down under a solitary broom tree. He asked that he might die: “It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life, for I am no better than my ancestors.”5Then he lay down under the broom tree and fell asleep. Suddenly an angel touched him and said to him, “Get up and eat.” 6He looked, and there at his head was a cake baked on hot stones, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and lay down again. 7The angel of the LORD came a second time, touched him, and said, “Get up and eat, otherwise the journey will be too much for you.” 8He got up, and ate and drank; then he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of God.   

L: The word of the Lord.C: Thanks be to God.  

Psalm: Psalm 34:1-8Taste and see that the LORD is good. (Ps. 34:8)  1I will bless the LORD at all times;  the praise of God shall ever be in my mouth. 2I will glory in the LORD;  let the lowly hear and rejoice. 3Proclaim with me the greatness of the LORD;  let us exalt God’s name together. 4I sought the LORD, who answered me  and delivered me from all my terrors.  5Look upon the LORD and be radiant,  and let not your faces be ashamed. 6I called in my affliction, and the LORD heard me  and saved me from all my troubles. 7The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear the LORD   and delivers them. 8Taste and see that the LORD is good;  happy are they who take refuge in God!  Second Reading: Ephesians 4:25--5:2Christians are called to be imitators of God. This does not mean Christians are perfect. Rather, the Spirit is at work in our lives so that our actions and attitudes genuinely reflect the love and forgiveness we have received through Christ and his death. 25So then, putting away falsehood, let all of us speak the truth to our neighbors, for we are members of one another. 26Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27and do not make room for the devil. 28Thieves must give up stealing; rather let them labor and work honestly with their own hands, so as to have something to share with the needy. 29Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only what is useful for building up, as there is need, so that your words may give grace to those who hear. 30And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which you were marked with a seal for the day of redemption. 31Put away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger and wrangling and slander, together with all malice, 32and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you. 5:1Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children, 2and live in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

Gospel AcclamationAlleluia. I am the living bread that came | down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. Alleluia. (John 6:51)

 

THE HOLY GOSPELThe Holy Gospel according to St. John, the 6th chapter.Glory to you, O Lord! Gospel: John 6:35, 41-51After feeding more than five thousand people in the wilderness, Jesus teaches them regarding the true significance of this remarkable sign. 35Jesus said to [the crowd,] “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. 41Then the Jews began to complain about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” 42They were saying, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” 43Jesus answered them, “Do not complain among yourselves. 44No one can come to me unless drawn by the Father who sent me; and I will raise that person up on the last day. 45It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me. 46Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father. 47Very truly, I tell you, whoever believes has eternal life. 48I am the bread of life. 49Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. 51I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”

HYMN OF THE DAY “Be Thou My Vision” ELW 793 

APOSTLES’ CREED Living together in trust and hope, we confess our faith. 

I believe in God, the Father almighty,creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,born of the virgin Mary,suffered under Pontius Pilate,was crucified, died, and was buried;he descended to the dead.On the third day he rose again;he ascended into heaven,he is seated at the right hand of the Father,and he will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,the holy catholic Church,the communion of saints,the forgiveness of sins,the resurrection of the body,and the life everlasting. Amen

THE GREAT THANKSGIVING The Lord be with you.And also with you.Lift up your hearts.We lift them to the Lord.Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.It is right to give our thanks and praise. It is indeed right, our duty and our joy,that we should at all times and in all placesgive thanks and praise to you, almighty and merciful God,through our Savior Jesus Christ;who on this day overcame death and the grave,and by his glorious resurrection opened to us the way of everlasting life.And so, with all the choirs of angels,with the church on earth and the hosts of heaven,we praise your name and join their unending hymn: 

10

In the night in which he was betrayed,our Lord Jesus took bread, and gave thanks;broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying:Take and eat; this is my body, given for you.Do this for the remembrance of me. Again, after supper, he took the cup, gave thanks,and gave it for all to drink, saying:This cup is the new covenant in my blood,shed for you and for all people for the forgiveness of sin.Do this for the remembrance of me. Remembering, therefore, his death, resurrection, and ascension,we await his coming in glory.Pour out upon us the Spirit of your love, O Lord,and unite the wills of all who share this heavenly food,the body and blood of Jesus Christ, our Lord;to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit,be all honor and glory, now and forever.Amen.
