Providing Community -- 2 Kings 4:1-7 (Fifth Sunday of Easter)

This sermon considers possibilities for hunger action in this time of pandemic and sheltering, through the lens of our Easter theme: "Life from Behind Closed Doors." This week, we take up an Old Testament text in which Elisha and a widow seek miraculous provision in a time of scarcity, and what we find is this: In the face of dire need, God provides abundance in the collaborative power of community,“with love as the main ingredient.”
