In our First Reading Elijah seeks to escape the wrath of Jezebel after his successful contest with the priests of Baal. A Reading from the First Book of Kings (19:4-8).
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 bet-ter than my ancestors.” Then he lay down under the broom tree and fell asleep. Suddenly an angel touched him and said to him, “Get up and eat.” He 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. The 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.” He 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.

In our Second Reading Christians are urged to conform to a new way of life which is pleasing to the Holy Spirit. They are to have a love like the love of Christ. A Reading from the Letter of Paul to the Ephesians (4:25—5:2).

Putting away falsehood, let all of us speak the truth to our neighbors, for we are members of one another. Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not make room for the devil. Thieves 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. Let 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. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which you were marked with a seal for the day of redemption. Put away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger and wran-gling and slander, together with all malice, and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you. There-fore be imitators of God, as beloved children, and live in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

Let us break bread togetherThe Gospel: John 6:35, 41-51 The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John. People: Glory be to thee, O Lord.
Jesus said, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and who-
ever believes in me will never be thirsty.” Then the Jews began to complain about him be-
cause he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” They were saying, “Is not this Je-sus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” Jesus answered them, “Do not complain among yourselves. No one can come to me unless drawn by the Father who sent me; and I will raise that person up on the last day. It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and
2
learned from the Father comes to me. Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father. Very truly, I tell you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. I 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.” The Gospel of the Lord.

Today’s GospelIn today’s Gospel Jesus continues to teach that
he is the true bread who will bring all who have faith in him eternal life. The discussion is meant to recall the story of the Israelites protesting and murmuring against God in the wilderness because they have no bread. But even the manna that God gave them was only a temporary food. While Jesus seems very ordinary to the Jews (who represent a worldly lack of faith), he offers the world both his teaching and himself, a life-giving bread from heaven.
A Music NoteOf musical instruments the organ is, without
doubt, among the most versatile. (It’s long been known as the ‘King of instruments,’ although no one seems to know what the ‘Queen’ would be.)
We extend a warm welcome to our guests and visitors and we are delighted to
have you worship with us. Our Communion Table is open to all baptized Christians. Please join us for refreshments in the Parish Hall af-ter the service, and please complete the Visi-tor’s Card found in the pew racks and place it in an Offering Basket or hand it to an Usher or Greeter after the service.
The dynamic range of the organ is (from soft to loud) enormous: from whisper to something just this side of an F16. Where pitch is concerned (low to high) the range runs from lower than the human ear can detect to sounds you might use to summon your dog.
Within these ranges organists have at their disposal an array of ‘stops’ which, at the player’s discretion, may be used in combination with one another or as solo voices. Some stops are very colorful (trumpets, for example, or flutes) while others provide a kind of ‘basic’ organ sound, the sort of thing you would only associate with the organ. Such versatility is, however desirable, one of the things which makes the organ difficult to play. A piano sounds always like a piano, and you can count on a clarinet to sound like a clarinet (some organs have clarinet stops too, by the way). No two organs, however, sound alike. The organist must be as versatile as the instrument at hand. (Pianists would argue that no two pianos sound alike; but everyone knows how difficult pianists can be.)
The organ is unsurpassed as an instrument for the leading of congregational singing thanks to its ability to sustain pitches indefinitely as well as its wide dynamic range. And organists are among the most fortunate musicians because the greatest composer of them all, Johann Sebastian Bach, wrote some of his greatest works for their instrument.
