Lake Magdalene UMC Family,
Get ready for Thursday evening when we hear these words again:
“When the supper was over he (Jesus) took the cup, gave thanks to you (Father), gave it to his disciples, and said: "Drink from this, all of you; this is my blood of the new covenant, poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me."
The cross, Jesus’ sacrifice, His blood, the cup of salvation is the foundation for God’s forgiveness of us.
In preparation to partake of the Lord’s Supper during our Maundy Thursday Service on Thursday, April 9th at 7 PM, I invite the church to do two things:
- Please have some bread and juice available for everyone in your home when the service and the liturgy for Holy Communion is shown virtually.
- In preparing to receive the cup of Christ’s forgiveness, let us ask the Lord to show us anyone we may need to forgive and if possible to take a step towards reconciliation.
Get ready! Get ready for Thursday. Get ready for a night of forgiveness!
Get ready to hear Jesus’ words again:
“This is my body given for you - This is my blood given for you and for many for the forgiveness of sin.”
Blessings,
Brent
