Lord’s Supper Tonight

The Passover Supper was very special to God’s chosen people and although Jewish families had celebrated it together every year for nearly 15 centuries, they did not see it as a foreshadowing of what the Lord would one day come to earth to do. Instead, it reminded them of what God had already done, in leading them out of Egypt and into the Promised Land.

When Jesus gathered with His disciples on the eve of His cruci-fixion, He wanted them (and us) to have a special way to remember Him.

After Jesus asked God’s bless-ing on the meal, He took the bread, broke it and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Eat this bread, it is a sym-bol of my body given for you. Eat it in remembrance of Me.”

Tonight when we gather for the Lord’s Supper we will do so in remembrance of our Lord. We remember His great love for us, His death on the cross for our sins, His resurrection from the grave and His promise to come back and take us to heaven.

Flower GardeningRoxanne Nelsen and Jeanne

Vallicott are working in the church flower gardens and they’re call-ing for workers to join them on Wednesdays at 9 a.m. in the south parking lot.

Come learn about flowers and how to care for them as you work. You’ll enjoy the fresh air, exer-cise and fellowship while serving the Lord. In case of rain or other events at the church, call Roxanne (475-8898) or Jeanne (483-1149) to see if they plan to work that day.

There are plenty of sidewalks, so bring the kids and their trikes, bikes, roller blades, and skate boards. They’ll have loads of fun while you work in the garden.

Music & Arts Camp begins tonight (June 14).

Camp is for all children enter-ing first–eighth grade next school year and will be held from 6–7:30 p.m. every Sunday night. The final concert will be presented on Sun-day evening, August 30.

First–third graders meet in the Family Center at 6 p.m. and finish in the choir room.

Fourth–eighth graders meet in the choir room at 6 p.m. and end in their elective room.

Our desire is for the children to hide God’s truth in their hearts as they learn the songs and have a Bible lesson. Then, by develop-ing their God-given abilities in the

arts, the children will find greater opportunities for worship and ser-vice in the church. Truth, music, worship, service! What a great way to spend Sunday evenings.
