While Jesus was teaching thousands of people the Disciples approached him and said, "Jesus, these people are hungry. We need to quit for the day, send them home and let them get something to eat."
Jesus response was remarkable. He turned to his volunteers and said, "You give them something to eat."
It may sound unlikely. It may look impossible. But every week Jesus says the same thing to you. Within the walls of our church there are opportunities to serve and minister to the needs of others. Throughout our community there are individuals and families hungry for the Word of God, waiting for someone to show them how to become a fully devoted follower of Christ.
You have been given the words of life - now Jesus says to you, "You give them something to eat."
