When he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them and cured their sick. When it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is now late; send the crowds away so that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.” Jesus said to them, “They need not go away; you give them something to eat.” Matthew 14:14-16

Our community has and is and is called to continue ‘giving them something to eat.’ From Reading Camp to Epiphany House to Coffee Hour to the CARES Food Pantry, you are doing it. And yet there are those who are still hungry and need to be led to the food of the Body and Blood of Christ. Our neighbors are hungry for healing and wholeness in body, mind and spirit. I look forward to being fed and feeding others with you on Sunday.

Peace and Blessings to you this day.

THANK YOU to Deacon Linda and her amazing mission team for an incredible week of Remington Reading Camp. Here are a few pictures. More to come on Facebook later.

Help feed our neighbors by bringing something for the CARES Food Pantry. Especially needed right now: canned fruits, canned green beans, canned peas, macaroni and cheese, cans of tomatoes, rice and tuna fish. Loaves and fishes. Get it?…

Sandwich Making at Springwell Senior Living in Mt. Washington with St. John’s Church for the Salvation Army Baltimore City van on Monday, August 7 at 5:15pm. Email Deacon Linda if you can join the fun.

This Sunday we’ll pack 19 lunches again after the late service to take to our brothers and sisters at Epiphany House. Their elevator will not be operable until the end of August. If you can arrange a meal on one of the rest of the August Sundays, please let Stewart know.

It means nothing, it means everything.
That magazine that you are about to recycle is golden. Maybe not for you, but for a seafarer going out into the ocean for weeks, without access to the world, it means the world. Bring your gently used magazines. They will be deeply appreciated.
