Abundance | Rev. Andrew Chappell

This week's scripture reading came from John 6:1-21. Tabgha, on the slopes of the Mount of Beatitudes just off the shores of the Sea of Galilee, is the site of several significant events in the life of Jesus. There stands a modern church, which protects the remains of a 4th-century AD mosaic that depicts the bread loaves and two fish that Jesus multiplied to feed the 5,000. Under the church’s altar is a rock that is believed to be the rock on which Jesus laid the loaves and fish while blessing them. The special mosaic can be seen in the photo on the bulletin cover.
