Creating Together Mural Update
Our Creating Together mural has been designed, drawn on huge pieces of wood, and then cut up into smaller pieces for you to paint! If you signed up to paint a piece you should have received an email from me with instructions for when to pick it up. There are a couple extra pieces if you didn’t get a chance to sign up and still want to participate. Send me an email at molly@nhunited.org if you want one! Otherwise, stay tuned for the unveiling of the mural in a couple weeks! If you’re painting a piece, show us your progress this week on Instagram by tagging @nhunited in your post!

Matthew 14:13-21
13 On hearing about this, Yeshua left in a boat to be by himself in the wilderness. But the people learned of it and followed him from the towns by land. 14 So when he came ashore, he saw a huge crowd; and, filled with compassion for them, he healed those of them who were sick.
15 As evening approached, the talmidim came to him and said, “This is a remote place and it’s getting late. Send the crowds away, so that they can go and buy food for themselves in the villages.” 16 But Yeshua replied, “They don’t need to go away. Give them something to eat, yourselves!” 17 “All we have with us,” they said, “is five loaves of bread and two fish.” 18 He said, “Bring them here to me.” 19 After instructing the crowds to sit down on the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fish and, looking up toward heaven, made a b’rakhah. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the talmidim, who gave them to the crowds. 20 They all ate as much as they wanted, and they took up twelve baskets full of the pieces left over. 21 Those eating numbered about five thousand men, plus women and children.
