Bell ringing [ ] REFLECTION The crowds around, like their ancestors in the wilderness before them, like us
their descendants after them, are only really interested in what God will do for them. They
Junior Church/young peoples’ groups [ ] assume that it is God’s job to provide for them, which is why they, and we, so constantly lose
faith. Unless God is always doing just what we want, we cannot believe. Despite all the
I would like to subscribe to the church magazine [ ] miracles that the crowd have witnessed, they still ask for a sign. Yet in Jesus, they are
encountering the presence of God, their creator and redeemer, the source of all meaning and
I would like to join the church electoral roll [ ] truth.

EPHESIANS 4: 1-16
I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which
you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one an-
other in love, making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling,
one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and through
all and in all.
But each of us was given grace according to the measure of Christ’s gift. Therefore it is
said, ‘When he ascended on high he made captivity itself a captive; he gave gifts to his
people.’ (When it says, ‘He ascended’, what does it mean but that he had also descended
into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is the same one who ascended far
above all the heavens, so that he might fill all things.) The gifts he gave were that some
would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip
the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until all of us come
to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the meas -
ure of the full stature of Christ. We must no longer be children, tossed to and fro and
blown about by every wind of doctrine, by people’s trickery, by their craftiness in deceitful
scheming. But speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is
the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and knitted together by every lig -
ament with which it is equipped, as each part is working properly, promotes the body’s
growth in building itself up in love.
JOHN 6: 24-35
So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got
into the boats and went to Capernaum looking for Jesus.
When they found him on the other side of the lake, they said to him, ‘Rabbi, when did you
come here?’ Jesus answered them, ‘Very truly, I tell you, you are looking for me, not be-
cause you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. Do not work for the food
that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give
you. For it is on him that God the Father has set his seal.’ Then they said to him, ‘What
must we do to perform the works of God?’ Jesus answered them, ‘This is the work of God,
that you believe in him whom he has sent.’ So they said to him, ‘What sign are you going
to give us then, so that we may see it and believe you? What work are you performing?
Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, “He gave them bread from
heaven to eat.” ’ Then Jesus said to them, ‘Very truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who
gave you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from
heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the
world.’ They said to him, ‘Sir, give us this bread always.’
Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry,
and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
