Loaves & Fishes Campaign Gloria Dei Lutheran Church Sioux Falls, South Dakota
1.
2. John 6: 1-14, Mark 60: 30-44
“Here is a boy with
five small barley
loaves and two small
fish, but how far will
they go among so
many?” Jesus said,
“Have the people sit
down.” Jesus then
took the loaves and
the fish, gave thanks
to God, and
distributed them to
the people.
They all ate and
were satisfied.
3. Freed by Christ, we gather,
grow, give and go, all to the
