Wednesday 4-16-14

Hello Community Group,
This week will be an interesting one as we participate in a Seder Meal.  We will meat at the Yates this week.

Here are instructions from Josh:

Leading into Easter week,
Jesus had supper with his disciples the night before he would be crucified (called The Last Supper). This meal was itself part of the celebration of the Jewish Passover, where Jews eat and remember when God delivered them from slavery in Egypt (if you have the Gospel Story Bible, read pages 60-64 which highlight the plagues and the first Passover). Knowing that He would be put to death in a few hours, Jesus told his disciples that He "eagerly desired to celebrate this Passover with you before I suffer" (Luke 22:15). At this celebration, He took elements of the Passover (the unleavened bread and the wine cup) and identified them as his body and blood, symbolizing his death.
We'll talk through more this Wednesday to give you a deeper picture of Jesus as our Passover lamb.
Please bring one or two items below from the main meal list and/or the Passover supply list...
