A Bible study on the Book of Jonah will be held Wednesday, Aug. 21, from noon-1:30 p.m. Bishop Murray Finck will lead the discussion. Bring friends, a Bible and book, and lunch if desired.
Jesus ended his declaration last Sunday by going a step forward: not only is he the bread of life but that his own flesh is that bread. This Sunday’s Gospel begins with this statement and continues with more questions from his followers. That step further has them all questioning his sanity. For them, it makes no sense. Jesus is the connection to eternal life.
