Sermon: The Chants of Taizé
Preacher: The Rev. Laura Krauss
Sermon text: John 6: 56-69
56 Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them. 57 Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever eats me will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like that which your ancestors ate, and they died.

Come, a sing a prayer that will last all week.
