BREAD BAKERS WANTED

Starting Sunday July 28, our church lectionary will have us switching over for five weeks to the Gospel of John rather than Mark. All texts for all five weeks will come from what is known as the “Bread of Life Discourse.” When I first came to Epiphany back in 2021, I envisioned us having five families volunteer to make homemade bread, one family for each of those Sundays making bread that we would then use as our communion bread. Unfortunately, we had to forgo that plan due to Covid. So this year, I would like to see if we can make that happen.
I am volunteering to make bread for the first Sunday. As it happens, my two granddaughters who live in Nashville, Tennessee will be visiting me for the next 10 days, and I have asked them and my son who lives in Simi Valley and his two little ones to come and join us in making bread. It occurred to me that there would then be three generations of one family lovingly involved in making communion bread for our Sunday service. Something about that really spoke to me of life-long memories being made and treasured, so perhaps some of you would like to do the same. I hope so. And if you would like to, please share with us your story of the making of the bread if you have one or perhaps the story of why you feel called to bake bread for your church community.
I do have a recipe if you need one. Ideally, it should be an unleavened loaf around 8” in diameter. You can also find recipes and tips for making bread online. I hope this time will be a loving, live-giving time for all of us at Epiphany! God bless! - Jamie+
