Processional Hymn - 837 - Gather Your People
Gather your people, O Lord.
Gather your people, O Lord.
One bread, one body, one spirit of love.
Gather your people, O Lord.
Draw us forth to the table of life: brothers and sisters,
each of us called to walk in your light.We are parts of the body of Christ, needing each other,
each of the gifts the Spirit provides.No more harm on the mountain of God: swords into plowshares.
Free us, O Lord, from hardness of heart.Wash us, Lord, in the waters of life: waters of mercy,
waters of hope that flow from your side.
Greeting:
Priest: The Lord be with you.
ALL: And with your spirit.
Kyrie:
Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.

We praise you, we bless you, we adore you,
We glorify you,
We give you thanks for your great glory.
Lord God, heavenly king,
O God, Almighty Father.
Gloria in excelsis Deo! Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Lord, Jesus Christ,

Have mercy on us.
You take away the sins of the world,
Receive our prayer;
You are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us.
Gloria in excelsis Deo! Gloria in excelsis Deo!
For you alone are the Holy One,

First Reading - 2 Kings 4:42-44
A man came from Baal-shalishah bringing to Elisha, the man of God, twenty barley loaves made from the firstfruits, and fresh grain in the ear.
Elisha said, "Give it to the people to eat."
But his servant objected,
"How can I set this before a hundred people?"
Elisha insisted, "Give it to the people to eat."
"For thus says the LORD, 'They shall eat and there shall be some left over.'"
And when they had eaten, there was some left over, as the LORD had said.
The Word of the Lord.
ALL: Thanks be to God.

Gospel -
John 6:1-15
Priest or Deacon: The Lord be with you.
ALL: And with your spirit.
Priest/Deacon: A reading from the Gospel according to John.
ALL: Glory to you, O Lord (while make a small sign of the Cross on the forehead, lips, and chest).
Jesus went across the Sea of Galilee.
A large crowd followed him, because they saw the signs he was performing on the sick.
Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples.
The Jewish feast of Passover was near.
When Jesus raised his eyes and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, he said to Philip,
"Where can we buy enough food for them to eat?"
He said this to test him, because he himself knew what he was going to do.
Philip answered him,
"Two hundred days' wages worth of food would not be enough for each of them to have a little."
One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him,
"There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what good are these for so many?"
Jesus said, "Have the people recline."
Now there was a great deal of grass in that place.
So the men reclined, about five thousand in number.
Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks,
and distributed them to those who were reclining, and also as much of the fish as they wanted.
When they had had their fill, he said to his disciples, "Gather the fragments left over,
so that nothing will be wasted."
So they collected them, and filled twelve wicker baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves that had been more than they could eat.
When the people saw the sign he had done, they said,
"This is truly the Prophet, the one who is to come into the world."
Since Jesus knew that they were going to come and carry him off to make him king,
he withdrew again to the mountain alone.
The Gospel of the Lord.
ALL: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Homily (please sit)
Nicene Creed (please stand)
I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.
General Intercessions:

Offertory Song - 808 - We Come with Joy
1. We come with joy in Jesus Christ,
Who knows our human need,
Who, moved with pity for the poor,
Would ev'ry hunger feed.
He blessed the fish and barley loaves
Till food was multiplied.
His bounty overflowed their want
And all were satisfied.
2. A little bread is all we have,
So meager our supply;
A little time, a little love
Can hardly satisfy.
But let us bring the best we have,
Despite our poverty,
And offer all our gifts to Christ,
Imperfect though they be.
3. Like ripples in a pool, our gifts,
However small they are,
Will reach and heal a needy world,
Will comfort near and far.
For Christ will bless our bit of bread,
The loaves our hands provide,
Till empty baskets overflow
And all are satisfied.

Communion Hymn - 914 - Lord, Who at Your First Eucharist
Lord, who at your first Eucharist
did pray
That all your Church
might be forever one,
Help us at ev'ry Eucharist to say
With longing heart and soul,
"Your will be done."
Thus may we all one Bread,
one Body be,
Through this blest Sacrament of Unity.For all your Church, O Lord,
we intercede;
O make our lack of charity to cease;
Draw us the nearer each to each,
we plead,
By drawing all to you, O Prince of Peace;
Thus may we all one Bread, one Body be,
Through this blest Sacrament of Unity.We pray for those who wander
from your fold;
O bring them back,
Good Shepherd of the sheep,
Back to the faith which
saints believed of old,
Back to the Church which still
that faith does keep;
Thus may we all one Bread, one Body be,
Through this blest Sacrament of Unity.So, Lord, at length when
sacraments shall cease,
May we be one with all your Church above,
One with your saints in
one unbroken peace,
One with your saints in
one unbounded love;
More blessed still, in peace and love to be
One with the Trinity in Unity.
Closing Hymn - 616 - Praise to the Lord, the Almighty
1. Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the king of creation!
O my soul, praise him, for he is your health and salvation!
All you who hear,
Now to his temple draw near.
Praise him in glad adoration!
2. Praise to the Lord, who oÕer all things is wondrously reigning
And, as on wings of an eagle, uplifting, sustaining.
Have you not seen
All you have needed has been
Met by his gracious ordaining?
3. Praise to the Lord, who will prosper your work and defend you;
Surely his goodness and mercy shall daily attend you.
Ponder anew
What the Almighty can do,
Who with his love will befriend you.
4. Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore him!
All that has life and breath come now with praises before him!
Let the Amen!
Sound from his people again!
Gladly with praise we adore him!
