Awaken in us a hunger for the food that satisfies both body and spirit, and with this food fill all the starving world; through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen. First Lesson: Isaiah 55:1-5 Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you that have no money, come, buy and eat!Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labour for that which does not satisfy? Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich?food. Incline your ear, and come to me;?listen, so that you may live. I will make with you an everlasting covenant,?my steadfast, sure love for David. See, I made him a witness to the?peoples, a leader and commander for the?peoples.See, you shall call nations that you do not know, and nations that do not know you shall run to you, because of the?Lord?your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified you.Psalm 145:8-9, 14-21The?Lord?is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. The?Lord?is good to all, and his compassion is over all that he has made. The?Lord?upholds all who are falling,?and raises up all who are bowed down.The eyes of all look to you,?and you give them their food in due season. You open your hand, satisfying the desire of every living thing. The?Lord?is just in all his ways, and kind in all his doings. The?Lord?is near to all who call on?him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfils the desire of all who fear?him; he also hears their cry, and saves them. The?Lord?watches over all who love?him,?but all the wicked he will destroy. My mouth will speak the praise of the?Lord,?and all flesh will bless his holy name for ever and ever.Second Reading: Romans 9:1-5 I am speaking the truth in Christ—I am not lying; my conscience confirms it by the Holy Spirit—?I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.?For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my own people,?my kindred according to the flesh.?They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises;?to them belong the patriarchs, and from them, according to the flesh, comes the Messiah,?who is over all, God blessed forever.?Amen.The Holy Gospel: Matthew 14:13-21Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a deserted place by himself. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns.?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.’?They replied, ‘We have nothing here but five loaves and two fish.’?And he said, ‘Bring them here to me.’?Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.?And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full.?And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.HomilyHymn of the Day: “Let us Talents and Tongues Employ” – ELW #674Apostles’ CreedPrayers of IntercessionThe Lord’s PrayerBenedictionSending Song: “Praise the One Who Breaks the Darkness” – ELW #843Announcements:THE 7 CONGREGATION PARTNERSHIP – schedule for this week for the 7 congregations of the ELCIC and the upcoming Sundays is as follows: August 2 – Home CongregationAugust 9 – ZION August 16 – Home CongregationAugust 23 – Home CongregationAugust 30 – Home Congregation Check out where you can find all 7 church websites and resource links.PASTOR BOYD AND PAULA ARE MOVING – to Regina on August 12th.
