Hello to everyone, I am finally getting around to telling you how our Easter holiday went.  Well it started on Good Friday, Brian, Crystal, Tucker, Taylor and I went to church.  We had a sacrament service and  foot washing service on Friday night.   

Mathew 26: 26-29

 26And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

 27And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

 28For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

 29But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

Jesus said that as often as we do this to do it in remembrance of him.  He then went on to wash the deciples feet.  And he told them as I have washed your feet ye aught to wash one another's feet.

John 13: 5-14

5After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.

 6Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

 7Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

 8Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.

 9Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

 10Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.

 11For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

 12So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?

 13Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.

 14If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.

Saturday we had a wonderful service that we call the offering of flowers.  I don't know of any other church that does this.  We brought flowers and placed them at the foot of a cross in remembrance of Jesus death.   Then on Sunday morning we had a sunrise service.  We then had breakfast in the fellowship hall and then Sunday School.  After Sunday school we took all the children out for an easter egg hunt.  We had a wonderful 3 day celebration.  All the flowers that were brought were taken away on Sunday and given to someone we loved for Easter since Jesus is no longer in the grave he has no need for flowers.

I wish joy and happiness to each of everyone that reads this.  but most of all I hope you know our risen saviour.  He loves you.  He died that you might live.
