SUMMARY:Feeding the Multitude: World Hunger 50 Bible Study
DESCRIPTION:Feeding the Multitude \nWorld Hunger 50 Bible Study  \nLed by Pastor Kelly Bayer Derrick \n  \nSeptember 16 & 23\, 2024 \n7:00pm – 8:15pm ET\, Zoom \n  \n“Everyone ate until they were full. They filled twelve baskets with the leftover pieces of bread and fish. About five thousand had eaten.” (Mark 6.42-44 CEB) \n  \nAll four gospels writers record the miracle of Jesus feeding the multitudes – with just five loaves of bread and two pieces of fish! From the everyday staples of bread and fish\, provided by the crowd from what they already had\, Jesus fed the multitudes – with food\, with compassion\, and with community. God is a God of abundance!  \n  \nJoin Pastor Kelly as we engage this miracle story together. Let’s explore the ways that Jesus invites us into this great picnic\, joining in God’s mission of abundant life as together we also share food\, compassion\, and community.  \n  \nRegistration will close on Wednesday\, September 11. \n  \nClick here to register.
