^“For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”  In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”  For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.”  

1 Corinthians 11: 23-26

 Falling under the shadow of Good Friday, and in the midst of a busy week, Maundy Thursday is easy to overlook.  My calendar doesn’t label it, and few churches celebrate even though it is probably the oldest of the Holy Week observances.

 This day we commemorate the Last Supper.  The Lord Jesus was the host of this last Passover observance with his disciples. Traditionally the meal would begin with the youngest member of the participants asking the question, “Why is this night different from all other nights?”  I hope you will pause with me today and consider this very question.

“And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.” I John 3: 23

“Becoming channels of love, however, is rarely a convenient affair. God is not in the habit of asking us to pick the best time in our schedules to be Christ’s love to others.” ~ Maxxie Dunnam (emphasis mine)

Hello Ladies of Lighthouse,
Sunday morning worship service has been an especially annointed time as Brother Joey preaches through 1 John. His provocation to live our lives in Christ as the transforming work of a lifetime have been both painful (as in ouch, ouch my toes) and encouraging. If you are missing this series, you are missing a grace lesson on living love. The ladies begin Sunday mornings with Bible study at 9:15 am; right now we are investigating and applying the book of Daniel with Rhonda Colvin’s leadership through the Beth Moore study.

Our children’s Easter Egg Hunt By Flashlight is scheduled for Friday, April 06, at 8:00 pm. Plastic Easter eggs that are filled with individually wrapped candy are needed for this event. There is a collection box in the foyer for you to leave your donations. Help will be needed the night of the event to hide eggs and help with the children. If you are bringing children to the event, please remember to bring flashlights!

Robin Johnson is looking for a volunteer that would send out nursery reminder cards for Cheryl Chapman while she is busy taking care of her mother. Robin will provide the cards, stamps, schedule and addresses. Please contact her directly and as soon as possible.

Please continue to keep BigMama Lola Taylor in your prayers, along with TC’s mother, Gary Colvin, Nancy Horton, Lindsey Pittman (scheduled for thryoid surger on April 4) and the many who are sick.

We continue to collect Coke Reward Points, BoxTops For Education, and Labels For Education to benefit Bryceville Elementary School. You can bring these in any time.

I am praying for YOU.
Blessings,
