Resurrection Sunday (Sunday, April 12th)

He's Alive! Our Savior is Alive!
Hallelujah!

The tomb is empty - He is Risen, Just like He said He would...
We serve a RISEN Savior!

Blessed be the Name of the Lord!

The morning started with the church watching a clip from 'The Passion' during Bible Training. Prayer and Praise for our Risen Savior followed at the start of the 10am service - the Worship Team ministered, the Mass Choir ministered and the Youth Choir ministered. The church was 'spiritually charged' and people were dancing, jumping, praising, singing, shouting, crying and so much more...

Then the Lord spoke to us through the Word: "Because of Jesus, We do Not Have to Be." He has done it all for us, taken our griefs, taken our sorrows, taken our transgressions, taken our iniquities, healed us from all infirmities...

Thank You Jesus, Thank You Lord...
Thank You...

Good Friday!

Bittersweet... but so beautiful.

Today we remember what Jesus took upon Himself for us. The cross that was meant to signify hurt, death and sorrow, has become a symbol of hope, love, and passion.

Our Lord's passion, for us.

Behold the Lamb of God, Who Takes Away the Sins of the World

Footwashing Service (Thursday, April 9th)

We do this only once a year and we have such a tremendous time serving and ministering to one another. And just like the rest of the week has been so powerful in focusing our eyes on Christ, we learned that as we washed one another's feet, we washed the feet of Jesus...

We washed the feet of Jesus
:-)

Communion Wednesday

Jesus is my passover!

Exodus 12:13
When I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

1 Corinthians 11:24-25
And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

Palm Sunday (Sunday, April 5th)

Our 2009 Holy Week celebrations began with Palm Sunday.

The sanctuary was beautifully decorated with palm branches and saints were waving their individual palm stems both in praise and worship unto the King. Ahhh.. you should have been there! Words cannot describe what we experienced; it was awesome!

The Word was inspiring. Personally, I learned that daily we usher in our King (Jesus Christ) with humility and praise just like the colt and the people there that day. But if we do not operate from humility, God cannot use us... (get the tape!)

We are still contemplating the questions raised during the skit from the Palm Sunday Service: "They praise Him now but will they still praise Him in troubled times? Will the things of the world draw us away from Him?"

Ummm...

Enjoy some pictures from the event
