Amen. The Lessons The First Reading is Please be seated. typically from the old testament. A Reading from the Book of Exodus (16:2-4,9-15) These are the The whole congregation of the Israelites complained against Hebrew Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. The Israelites said to Scriptures that them, “If only we had died by the hand of the Lord in the Jesus was land of Egypt, when we sat by the fleshpots and ate our fill of familiar with and from which he bread; for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill often referred or this whole assembly with hunger.” Then the Lord said to Mo- quoted. We read ses, “I am going to rain bread from heaven for you, and each them through the day the people shall go out and gather enough for that day. In lens of the that way I will test them, whether they will follow my instruc- Gospels. tion or not.” Then Moses said to Aaron, “Say to the whole congregation of the Israelites, ‘Draw near to the Lord, for he has heard your complaining.’“ And as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the Israelites, they looked toward the wilderness, and the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud. The Lord spoke to Moses and said, “I have heard the com- plaining of the Israelites; say to them, ‘At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall have your fill of bread; then you shall know that I am the Lord your God.’“ In the evening quails came up and covered the camp; and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp. When the layer of dew lifted, there on the surface of the wilderness was a fine flaky substance, as fine as frost on the ground. When the Israelites saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat.”

The Word of the Lord.

7 Psalm 78:23-29

23 So he commanded the clouds a - | bove * and opened the doors of | heaven.

24 He rained down manna upon them to | eat * and gave them grain from | heaven.

25 So mortals ate the bread of | angels; * he provided for them food e - | nough.

26 He caused the east wind to blow in the | heavens * and led out the south wind by his | might.

27 He rained down flesh upon them like | dust * and winged birds like the sand of the | sea.

28 He let it fall in the midst of their | camp * and round about their | dwellings.

29 So they ate and were well | filled, * for he gave them what they | craved.

There is one body and one Spirit, of the Apostles or just as you were called to the one hope of your calling, one the Revelation Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who to John. is above all and through all and in all. But each of us was giv- en 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 ascend- ed," 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 apos- tles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teach- ers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the , until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ. We 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 knit together by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is working properly, promotes the body's growth in building itself up in love.

The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

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 heav- en, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
