Celebrate the Lord's Supper Sunday, September 30, 2012

 Join us for worship this Sunday, September 30th for a celebration of the Lord's Supper at 8:00 and 10:30 a.m. Following is the Scripture reading for this Sunday's message:

Luke 22:7-23, Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

7 Then the Day of Unleavened Bread came when the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. 8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover meal for us, so we can eat it.”

9 “Where do You want us to prepare it?” they asked Him.

10 “Listen,” He said to them, “when you’ve entered the city, a man carrying a water jug will meet you. Follow him into the house he enters.

11 Tell the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks you, “Where is the guest room where I can eat the Passover with My disciples?”’

12 Then he will show you a large, furnished room upstairs. Make the preparations there.”

13 So they went and found it just as He had told them, and they prepared the Passover.
The First Lord’s Supper

14 When the hour came, He reclined at the table, and the apostles with Him.

15 Then He said to them, “I have fervently desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.

16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again[a] until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

17 Then He took a cup, and after giving thanks, He said, “Take this and share it among yourselves.

18 For I tell you, from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”

19 And He took bread, gave thanks, broke it, gave it to them, and said, “This is My body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.”

20 In the same way He also took the cup after supper and said, “This cup is the new covenant established by My blood; it is shed for you.[b]

21 But look, the hand of the one betraying Me is at the table with Me!

22 For the Son of Man will go away as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!”

23 So they began to argue among themselves which of them it could be who was going to do this thing.

For His Glory!
