Text: Acts 8:4-25  Title: Salvation: A Power Freely Given by Nick Neves, pastor    Pastor Nick looks at the story of Simon Magus, and marvels at the free gift of grace. 

New leadership is in place at the Kewanee Food Pantry, where Sarah Titlow has been named director. Titlow, a retired Kewanee High School special education teacher, says the pantry now serves more than 400 families each month, with demand rising due to higher food costs and changes to SNAP benefits. She says shelves are especially low near month's end, with needs including protein, fruits, vegetables, cereal, hygiene products, and easy-open foods for people without access to cooking. Donations can be made at kewaneefoodpantry.org, by mail to P.O. Box 492 in Kewanee, or during pantry hours. The Kewanee Food Pantry is located at 924 Rose Street and is open on Tuesdays from 10 AM to 2 PM and Thursdays from 3 to 6 PM. Kewanee Food Pantry continues to make a major impact for local families facing food insecurity. The nonprofit serves eligible Kewanee residents, assisting about 475 households each month and distributing roughly one million pounds of food every year. In 2025, the pantry handed out nearly 5,700 food boxes, helping approximately 19,500 people. Food and supplies come from wholesalers, distributors, area food banks, local stores, and commodity items from the State of Illinois. Public donations, along with support from area groups and businesses, also play a vital role. The pantry's “Backpacks for Kids” program remains another key effort, providing 3,760 backpacks to local children during the 2025 school year.

YOU Give Them Something to Eat Pastor Mark Havel Matthew 14:13-21Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a deserted place by himself. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns. When he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them and cured their sick.When it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, ‘This is a deserted place, and the hour is now late; send the crowds away so that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.' Jesus said to them, ‘They need not go away; you give them something to eat.' They replied, ‘We have nothing here but five loaves and two fish.' And he said, ‘Bring them here to me.'Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full. And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children. This feeding of the 5,000 is one of Jesus' great miracles – maybe THE great miracle, if there were a popularity contest. (You've got water to wine, walking on water, lots of healing here and there, and this feeding of the 5,000, right?) We wonder about how in the world Jesus could take just five loaves of bread and two fish and feed that many people. We marvel at all those leftovers – 12 baskets full – and the idea that if there were about 5,000 men – not including women and children – how many people Jesus really must have fed at the end of that day.I also always marvel at the compassion Jesus mustered for the crowds that afternoon, when all he really wanted was to be alone, to grieve after learning that his cousin and friend, John the Baptist, had just died. It's amazing to think about all of the people he must have healed or taught or sat with and listened to, in the midst of his grief. And you have to wonder what it was that he said to himself when he looked up to heaven and blessed and broke that food, before making the miracle happen.But the disciples were there too. And while it's easy to wonder about all of the other stuff – to focus on the size of the crowds and the lack of food and the miracle of it all – I also think about those disciples.It had been a long day and they were probably tired, too. Their appeal to Jesus to let the crowd go get some food, was probably just as much about them getting the heck out of there, too. Never mind the 5,000 … those five loaves and two fish weren't all that much for 12 tired, hungry disciples, either.And in the face of their questions … in response to their doubts … in spite of their laziness … whatever it may have been … Jesus says, “YOU give them something to eat.”“What do you mean, ‘you'? You want US to feed THEM? Maybe you haven't noticed, Jesus, but there's like 5,000 people on this hill and all we brought with us is a couple of stinky fish and a few loaves of sourdough.”“Yes,” Jesus said. “YOU give them something to eat.”See, the miracle's a good one and it makes a great story, but if we only focus on what Jesus prayed or on trying to figure out how he did what he did, or on the crowds or the fish or the bread and the math – I think we miss the point. Just like the rest of Jesus' parables – and the ones we've been hearing the last couple of weeks – they really aren't about yeast or pearls or nets; they aren't about weeds, seeds, soil, or gardening. And today isn't really about fish or bread or a hillside picnic. For me, the Gospel – the Good News – in the story of the Feeding of the Five Thousand is found in Jesus' short and simple response to the disciples:“YOU give them something to eat.”Sure the disciples are skeptical. Yes Jesus does whatever he does to make the food go as far as it did. But, what he says and what the disciples do is even more profound and powerful: “YOU give them something to eat.” Don't send them away. Don't look for a way out. Don't hope for someone else to do it. Don't wait for tomorrow, even. “YOU give them something to eat.” “And do it now.”And don't we sound and act like the disciples too much of the time? We don't have enough bread – whether that means time, or money; energy, willingness, or ability; faith, love, compassion, or whatever. We're skeptical. We're pessimistic. We're preoccupied, distracted, lazy, uninspired, selfish, insecure, unconvinced, we have so many other, better things to do – maybe all the things those disciples were feeling that day. A lot of the time, if you're anything like me, you're just downright full of really good excuses.But just like the disciples in the Gospel, Jesus gives us something greater than even our best excuses. He gives us more than just another miracle, too. He gives us something better even then bread and fish to chew on. Jesus reveals to us just what a high opinion God has – not only of the lost and lonely; the sick and needy people on the hillside that day for whom he shows so much compassion – but Jesus reveals what a high opinion God has of those who believe in and who want to follow him so faithfully.What I hear Jesus saying is, “Don't pretend you don't have the time or the skills or the resources to do God's work in this world.” “Don't pretend you're not qualified or capable.” “Don't put it off for another day or time or moment when it might be more convenient.” “And don't wait for me to do it in your place.”“YOU give them something to eat.”Which is what I hope you notice and want to be a part of around here – doing the work of the Kingdom, I mean, in and for the sake of the the communities we serve at Cross of Grace. Of course, I think of our Food Pantry and Agape Ministries and Project Rouj in Haiti, that literally support and feed people in gracious, powerful ways.But I think about our CarePortal Crew, too, who does this in ways that continue to surprise me. Stephanie Smith sends an e-mail every couple of weeks with requests for everything from diapers to bed frames to clothing to swing-sets. Ostensibly, she's saying, “You give them something to eat – or somewhere to sleep, or something to wear, or whatever the need may be,” and before you know it diapers and clothes and all the rest start showing up – from so many of you – to be delivered to children and families nearby. It's as miraculous as it is simple, if you ask me.And I think about less-obvious things like our Summer Reading Program, too. Inspired by a desire to help English Learners in our neck of the woods, I proposed this idea with more hope than I had plans – a couple of stinky fish and some crumbs of bread, if you will. But we had dozens of Cross of Gracers sign up and show up to make it happen. We didn't pack a hillside every Wednesday, this summer, but we consistently gave about a dozen children a regular dose of patience, time, opportunity, and learning over the course of the last couple of months that I believe fed and filled them in some meaningful ways that will last and linger as they begin another school year.And, of course, I have in mind the fantastic week of our “Toy Story” themed Camp @ Church that we just pulled out of our behinds. When Lutheran Outdoor Ministries canceled our annual Camp @ Church about a month out, it was temping … it would have been easy – and reasonable – to just cancel the whole thing and try again next year. There wasn't enough time. There wouldn't be enough resources, ideas, hands-on-deck. These kids and families could have found other ways and places to fill their days, instead.But we decided to give them something to eat, after all. Day after day, there were crafts and songs and Bible Studies and games and – no loaves and fish – but plenty of good food, too. Every day, 45 kids – and a gaggle of men, women, and teens, too – were filled to overflowing with reminders of God's love for them, with the Truth of their value in God's eyes, with the promise of their call to love one another, with the hope of their place in God's story.This is all a reminder that there is some way each of us can help to feed somebody else – literally or otherwise – through the ministry we share here. Maybe it's helping with Sunday school this fall, sharing a meal, helping to clean, mowing the lawn, getting onto that CarePortal e-mail list, or showing up for the CrossRoads class to learn more. Let's not wait for someone else to do it. Let's not pretend we aren't capable or qualified or called, even, to respond to the needs around us, in this place or in our world. And let's not wait for Jesus to do it all by himself, either – that was never God's plan.No, let's be amazed by the story. Let's wonder about the miracle on that hillside. But let's think about our mission here – as a congregation and as individuals trying to follow the ways of Jesus. Let's hear the command to give the world something to eat. And let's realize that we have all we need to make that happen – that because of God's love for us, we are called and capable of doing the work of love and grace and generosity for the sake of the world. And let's trust that when we do, there will be more than enough of go around – with leftovers besides.Amen

Title: True Salvation by Daniel Williams

Longer lines, many new faces Fareground raised money in 2024 to buy a refrigerated box truck capable of holding 6,000 pounds of food for distribution to residents in Beacon, Fishkill, Newburgh, Poughkeepsie and Wappingers Falls. A capacity that once seemed sufficient has been surmounted by a problem that continues to grow, and the Fishkill-based nonprofit has outgrown the truck, according to Jamie Levato, its executive director. "We are constantly having to bring in more and more food; storage is becoming a challenge and transport is becoming a challenge." Fareground is not alone in noting longer lines and new faces at every distribution. Dozens of representatives from food pantries across the Hudson Valley told the same story when they gathered Tuesday (July 28) at AME Zion Church in Newburgh to receive an update from the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York, which distributes food to organizations in Dutchess, Putnam and 21 other counties. The food bank illustrated the extent of hunger in the Hudson Valley by sharing new statistics from Map the Meal Gap, a report compiled by Feeding America, a national hunger-relief organization. The most recent data, from 2024, documents the number of adults and children considered "food-insecure" because they lack access to enough to eat. In Dutchess, Putnam and the four other counties (Orange, Rockland, Sullivan and Ulster), 167,990 people were considered food-insecure in 2024, including 53,390 children (a 10 percent increase over the previous year). In Dutchess, an estimated 32,140 people (11 percent of the population) were food-insecure, and in Putnam, 8,430 (8.6 percent). Despite a small decrease from 2023, Dutchess has 10,730 more food-insecure residents than 2021 and Putnam, 3,200 more. Food pantries expect their lines to grow as the costs for food, energy, housing and necessities continue to rise. Those challenges are aggravated by federal cuts that began last year in programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps. In 2025, the Regional Food Bank distributed 53.3 million pounds of food to pantries, more than any year in its nearly five decades of service, except for 2020, during the pandemic. That was despite losing 7 million pounds in cuts by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, said Tom Nardacci, CEO of the Regional Food Bank. Nardacci said that people who have never visited a food pantry or "stood outside in the cold to hand out food" are "making decisions that aren't connected to reality." Here are a few local resources if you need food assistance. Beacon's Backyard Kitchen The group serves a hot breakfast at 12 Hanna Lane on Tuesday and Thursday from 6:30 to 8:30 a.m. and to-go lunch until 10:30 a.m. Beacon Farmers' Market The market doubles the value of federal food benefits from June to November. See beaconfarmersmarket.org/food-benefits. Common Ground Farm does the same at the market through its Greens4Greens program. Fareground The nonprofit serves a community meal on Friday from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church, 50 Liberty St., in Beacon. Fishkill Food Pantry Operated by First Reformed Church of Fishkill and St. Mary Mother of the Church, Fishkill, at 1153 Main St., the pantry serves residents of the Highlands, including Beacon and Cold Spring. It is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m. to noon and Monday and Wednesday from 2:30 to 6 p.m. Call 845-896-4546 in the morning to make an appointment for that day.

At least 22,000 New Yorkers and 31,000 New Jerseyans have been cut from SNAP since new federal work requirements took effect earlier this year. The numbers are expected to grow, and food pantries are already seeing surging demand.

Text - Hebrews 10:24-25  Title - The Blessing of Gathering With God's People   JD Wheeler preaches from Hebrews about the importance of joining with the local body of believers, that we can enjoy and honor God, and put the ‘one another' commands of scripture into practice.

(Jul 24, 2026) Food pantries across the North Country are scrambling to keep up with increased demand as prices remain high and federal food assistance is being cut. A food collection event in Potsdam aims to help food pantries stock up ahead of a busy summer. Also: The case of a rabid beaver biting two men on Lake George this summer is drawing attention to rabies treatment. Although rabies can be deadly, it's preventable with awareness and a few simple precautions.

Brian Slater was raised in a traditional but non-religious Jewish family in California. It wasn't until God intervened in his life and rescued him out of the darkness of addiction that he began to embrace the true Messiah, Yeshua. Brian started helping others in the Los Angeles area who suffered from addiction issues, and as he served others, his heart for them grew. He felt called to move (aliyah) to Israel in 1996, and today, he is the CEO of Abundant Bread of Salvation, a food pantry that serves not only Holocaust survivors, but those suffering in Israel amid the volatile Middle East war. Every week, his ministry reaches approximately 400 people. Relying totally on volunteers, Abundant Bread of Salvation has been reaching “pre-believers” for more than 15 years, and seen many receive Yeshua as their personal Savior. TAKEAWAYS The Bible says that Jesus will bring the scattered back to Zion (Jeremiah 31:10) The ‘Adopt-a-Holocaust' Program provides help and services to elderly Holocaust survivors in Israel Israel is a dangerous place right now amid the war, with many Israelis living under constant threat and poverty 70-80 percent of those whom the ministry reaches are “pre-believers” in hopes they will place their faith in the Messiah, Yeshua

(Jul 23, 2026) A food pantry in Watertown says need is sharply increasing amid the rise in food insecurity and reduction of SNAP benefits; we go to a video game shop in Ticonderoga, where they're creating a safe space for the community; and we have a conversation about an upcoming conference in Potsdam that's starting the conversation about fire risk in the North Country.

(Jul 23, 2026) Food insecurity is rising sharply across the region as cuts to federal food assistance are hitting families. We visit a food pantry in Watertown that's seeing a sharp increase in need. Also: Lake Champlain and the St. Lawrence River are both hosting major bass fishing tournaments this weekend.

Lindsey is no stranger to the non-profit scene in Watauga County, having served as Health Strategist at AppHealthCare, where, among other projects, she was a lead voice in the creation of STABLE Workplaces.On this week's Mind Your Business, we catch up with Lindsey at the ribbon-cutting for the newly renovated home of Hunger and Health Coalition, a space that connects their footprint to the Community Care Clinic, following a merger of the two organizations in 2025. After the event, we sat down to discuss leading through transition, the value of listening in the early days of a new role, and how prior knowledge of a business can accelerate opportunity for growth.We'll also provide some fresh news on the FY27 budget plans for Watauga County and the Town of Boone. Mind Your Business is written and produced weekly by the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce.

On today’s “Closer Look with Rose Scott,” with the Trump Administration cutting SNAP benefits, food pantries across the Atlanta metro area are preparing for growing demand on their donations. Santiago Marquez, who serves as the CEO of the Latin American Association, shares that a lot of Latino families are in need, but many don’t seek help due to fear or lack of information about available resources. Then, we have an in-depth discussion about the impact of data centers on communities in the Atlanta metro area. We hear about their mass consumption of water, high energy usage, and concerns about how a data center will alter a normally quiet rural community.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us Fan MailHunger rarely looks like the stereotype. Sometimes it looks like a parent who works full-time but cannot make childcare and groceries fit in the same month. Sometimes it looks like grandparents raising grandchildren, a family navigating a health crisis, or someone who just lost a job and needs help for a season. Loving like Jesus means serving those who are the most vulnerable in real and tangible ways. In this episode, Bishop Wright has a conversation with Ashley and Sean Davis about the real faces of food insecurity and why a food pantry can be a lifeline without ever stripping away dignity. Their story starts with a major health issue that forced Ashley to step back from a corporate banking career and ask a hard question: what kind of work actually helps people? This discerning question led them to sell their California home, move to Cartersville, Georgia, and search for a place where they could stop feeling anonymous and start building community. That search led them to The Episcopal Church of the Ascension, where everything “felt right,” and soon after to the Red Door Food Pantry, where Ashley became executive director in 2024. They dig into the measurable impact and the human impact and how The Red Door Food Pantry grew from a ministry of Ascension into a nonprofit while continuing distributions through the church, and serving thousands of households across Bartow County and beyond. They discuss improving access through technology, mobile pantry plans, and partnerships that bring mental health support, housing resources, health services, and recovery connections right to distribution days. Listen in for the full conversation. About the Red Door Food Pantry:For decades, the food pantry was an outreach ministry of the Episcopal Church of the Ascension, and it distributed the same 8-10 items of food every week to about 30-50 people. Purchasing food at retail prices required the food pantry to use restricted funds to meet budgetary needs. Thus, the food pantry was “in the red,” with only about 10 months of operating expenses to fall back on. However, by joining the Atlanta Community Food Bank (ACFB) in 2013, the Red Door Food Pantry was able to buy food for about sixteen cents a pound– thus giving it greater buying power and by helping it attain solvency. In 2022, the Red Door Food Pantry was designated 501(c)(3) status as a public charity.

You can find little free food pantries all around Seattle neighborhoods. They’re a great place to stock up on a few things or to donate ingredients to a neighbor. Researchers at the University of Washington just launched an app to help people find and fill the pantries. They’re hoping to reduce food waste and make these "micropantries" more efficient. I talk with Giacomo Dalla Chiara, one of the researchers behind the project. We can only make Seattle Now because listeners support us. Tap here to make a gift and keep Seattle Now in your feed.

Not On The Food Pantry!

Title: ‘The Parable of the Talents'  Text: Matthew 25:14-30 by Nick Neves, pastor

Rising grocery, rent and tuition costs are making it harder for many college students to afford food and a growing number are turning to food pantries. More than 10,000 University of Minnesota students visited the U's food pantry last fall.Minnesota Senate Democrats passed their catch-all elections bill for the year on a party-line vote Thursday. The bill includes measures to shield home addresses of politicians for safety. It also makes voter intimidation and harassment of election officials a felony.Minneapolis will add a commemorative street name on the city's north side to honor Birdell Beeks. The City Council voted Thursday to add her name to a street sign near the site of her death. Nearly 10 years ago Beeks was killed by a stray bullet while she sat in her minivan with her granddaughter.A bill introduced at the Capitol Thursday would change how suspicious deaths tied to domestic violence are investigated. The bill is named for Allison Lussier, a 47-year-old Indigenous woman found dead in her Minneapolis apartment in February 2024. Her death was initially ruled suspicious; police later investigated it as a homicide. Lussier's family has accused Minneapolis police of ignoring signs of domestic violence.

What does it mean for community members to have access to foods from their culture? What is it like to take care of an urban forest and hit the trail for your day at the office? How can fitness prioritize strength and community building over weight loss?   Once again, we’ve got questions about all the interesting jobs Pacific Northwesterners have, and so do you. So we’re back with the latest installments of our ‘At Work With’ series, where interview people from different lines of work about what it’s like to do what they do. This time, we meet a worker at a market-style food pantry specializing in Latino cultural foods, a park ranger at Oregon’s Tryon Creek State Natural Area, and a coach focused on making fitness more welcoming and inclusive for everyone.   We’re always open to new ideas for jobs — or volunteer positions — that we can learn about next!
