5,000 people. Five loaves of bread and 2 fish. A picnic in the grass. The story of Jesus feeding the multitudes is a famous one! ...But what if there’s more to the story than an abundance of food and shiny, happy people? This Sunday, we are joined by guest preacher Elea Forester who helps us dig a little deeper into this miracle as we explore the relationship between pain, limits, grace, and connection. Together, we'll ask brave questions, and perhaps even join in the miracle as we come to the Communion table of thanksgiving. Elea preached this sermon on August 2, 2026 at First Congregational Church (UCC) in Memphis, TN.
