We wrap up our three-week worship series, Olympic Faith, this Sunday as we look at Olympic Memories.
July 29: Olympic Messes
August 5: Olympic Medals
August 12: Olympic Memories
Our scripture for Sunday is John 6:35, 41-51 John 6.50-51 reads: “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 for ever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”
John’s Gospel invites us to wonder about the belief that Jesus is the bread of life. Jesus is the one who gives us the nourishment we need in order to practice our faith. This brings to mind the spiritual practice of the Lord’s Supper which includes the recitation of the story of God and creation as well as the story of Jesus’s life, death and resurrection. How might the practice of sharing this sacred meal on a regular basis inform your belief in Jesus?
There have been many stories during the last few weeks that highlight different athletes. Each athlete follows a different regimen to achieve their Olympic Dream. What dream do you have for your faith practice and what might you be able to share with a friend or member of your faith community this week about your own regime for succeeding?
