She noted the temptation to be stuck with the disciples in scarcity at the story&#8217;s beginning or to rush to the end, gathering the broken pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her message, Rev. Kurtz encouraged those being commissioned and ordained to be present \u201cwhere precisely the miracle unfolds to meet the need in real time\u201d\u2014to remember the invitation and have their fill, too, instead of stewarding scarcity or feeding only on leftovers. She reminded them that no souvenir or memento can ever stand in for the experience or for their calling and their \u201cyes\u201d to that call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sermon was followed by the children\u2019s choir in tie-dye shirts singing \u201c5 Loaves, 2 Fishes\u201d with a chorus of \u201cone little boy gave up his lunch and Jesus let 5000 munch!\u201d Next, Rev.
