Loaves and Fishes Guild

Liska Lackey, Guild Chair

"And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. And all ate and were filled." Luke 9:16-17

The miracle of the loaves and fishes is told repeatedly in the Gospels. A large number of people have gathered with Jesus and he has been teaching them all day. The people become hungry but the apostles do not have enough money to feed the crowd. Then a young man steps forward with his five loaves and two fishes and offers them to Jesus. From this offering the whole crowd is fed.

The purpose of the Loaves and Fishes Guild is to provide refreshment when we are gathered together, including Sunday morning coffee hour and approximately 12 parish-sponsored dinners and receptions throughout the year.

The guild is also available to assist with other parish events that include hospitality and fellowship. If you would like the guild's assistance, please contact Liska Lackey at least four weeks prior to the event. Your group will be responsible for providing the event
coordinator.

Working with fellow guild members offers an opportunity for fun and camaraderie, as well as joy in offering hospitality to all of us who gather together. If you would like to help or if you have any questions please e-mail guild chair Liska Lackey at llackey@unch.unc.edu.

Send items for inclusion in future "Cross Roads."
The deadline is the first Thursday of the preceeding month.
