2-17-2010 Bread of Life





“I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."
- John 6:51


In today’s chapel, Pastor Sandy Drescher-Lehman and students from Souderton Mennonite Church spoke about different kinds of bread and their meanings. This provided a way for us to think about our relationship with God as we enter the season of Lent. Students and faculty were challenged to think about which bread represents where they are on their spiritual journey, or where they would like to be.


Sourdough Bread is the bread of pain and loss.

Pita Bread is the bread of being open and willing for God to fill us.

Wheat Bread is the bread of letting go of what others might think of us or who we’ve worked hard to be.

Sweet Bread is the bread of joy.

Unleavened Bread is the bread of being willing to trust.


Which kind of bread would you choose?


Which bread represents where you are on your spiritual journey?
