Prayer Line for April 9, 2020
| Prayer Line for April 9, 2020 "Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. Yet he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace." - Isaiah 53:4-5 During this Passion Week, we encourage you to follow the daily events in scripture and reflect on what Jesus has done for us, especially in these last days before the crucifixion and His resurrection. - Today's events: Thursday of Holy Week - also known as Maundy Thursday - witnessed several key events in the Easter story and set in motion the trial and crucifixion of Jesus. The events of this day, particularly the Last Supper, continue to be remembered and commemorated in Christian churches around the world today. Read Matthew 26:17-46 to get a better understanding of what our Savior went through before His Passion. UPCOMING EVENTS: We will host our Tenebrae Good Friday service on Friday, April 10, at 7 pm. This will be ONLINE ONLY and on all three of our live platforms (Website, Facebook, and YouTube) We are encouraging communion in your home with your family as we share about it in the service.
