WELCOME
FROM THE VICE RECTOR
The Rev. Ken Brannon
We’re so glad you’ve joined us at Saint Michael today. We’d love to get to know you better, so please take a moment to fill out the welcome card, either physically or digitally, that can be found on this page or in the pew back in front of you. Our Welcome Team members are in the hallways today to help you with anything you need.
We’re in the process of calling new parish leaders for 2025! Nominations for Vestry and Delegates to Diocesan Convention are due August 18 (visit saintmichael.org/nominations or see the QR code in today’s Sunday News available at the back of the church or chapel). Nominations for Standing Committees (saintmichael.org/committees) may be made year-round, but those received by September 15 are more likely to be considered for service in 2025. Please pray about who may be gifted for leadership during this phase of Saint Michael’s life–it may be you!
As we prepare to worship together, I invite you to take a moment and center yourself on God’s presence. Worshiping, learning, and giving together help us grow closer to who God created us to be, and you’re part of that work. May God bless you today and every day, and I hope to see you again very soon!

The Collect of the Day
O God, the protector of all who trust in you, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy: Increase and multiply upon us your mercy; that, with you as our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that we lose not the things eternal; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
The Lesson 2 Kings 4:42-44
A man came from Baal-shalishah, bringing food from the first fruits to the man of God: twenty loaves of barley and fresh ears of grain in his sack. Elisha said, “Give it to the people and let them eat.” But his servant said, “How can I set this before a hundred people?” So he repeated, “Give it to the people and let them eat, for thus says the LORD, ‘They shall eat and have some left’.” He set it before them, they ate, and had some left, according to the word of the LORD.
Lector The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God.
The Psalm 145:10-19
All your works praise you, O LORD, * and your faithful servants bless you. They make known the glory of your kingdom * and speak of your power; That the peoples may know of your power * and the glorious splendor of your kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; * your dominion endures throughout all ages. The LORD is faithful in all his words * and merciful in all his deeds. The LORD upholds all those who fall; * he lifts up those who are bowed down. The eyes of all wait upon you, O LORD, *
and you give them their food in due season. You open wide your hand * and satisfy the needs of every living creature. The LORD is righteous in all his ways * and loving in all his works. The LORD is near to those who call upon him, * to all who call upon him faithfully.
The Gospel John 6:1-21
Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, also called the Sea of Tiberias. A large crowd kept following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing for the sick. Jesus went up the mountain and sat down there with his disciples. Now the Passover, the festival of the Jews, was near. When he looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “ Where are we to buy bread for these people to eat?” He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he was going to do. Philip answered him, “Six months’ wages would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little.” One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are they among so many people?” Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was a great deal of grass in the place; so they sat down, about five thousand in all. Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted. When they were satisfied, he told his disciples, “Gather up the fragments left over, so that nothing may be lost.” So they gathered them up, and from the fragments of the five barley loaves, left by those who had eaten, they filled twelve baskets. When the people saw the sig n that he had done, they began to say, “This is indeed the prophet who is to come into the world.” When Jesus realized that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, he withdrew again to the mountain by himself.

ning came, his disciples went down to the sea, got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. The sea became rough because a strong wind was blowing. When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were terrified. But he said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.” Then they wanted to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the land toward which they were going.
