Music at St Paul

 The Great Bread Discourse We are in the readings of the Great Bread Discourse - where we hear how Jesus is the bread of life, in this cycle B of the Lectionary - the appointed readings and cycle we follow in our worship life.  As these readings come around, I find myself looking to see how many anthems mention the word bread or eating, drinking or thirst. And there are a good many. However during the summer months when these readings occur, we don't always have as many choir members to sing as some are traveling, and going on vacation. However, every church choir that sings in the summer finds at least one "Bread" Anthem to share during this season - as bread and wine are used by God in communion, and as Jesus is the true bread and drink that we need and are offered through his life and love. You can find a more modern hymn about "Bread" titled "I Am the Bread of Life" here with the Notre Dame Choir singing:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dX4uC3a7RC
