Holy Thursday Liturgy

Holy Thursday Liturgy

It was now the time of Passover. Jesus’ followers came to Him and said, “We will go and prepare everything for the Passover Feast. Where do you want to eat the feast?” Jesus answered, “Go into the city. A man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. He will go into a house. Tell the owner of the house, “The teacher wants you to prepare the room for the Passover meal.” So the followers left and went into the city and prepared the Passover Feast.

In the evening, Jesus went to that house with the twelve. While they were eating, Jesus took the bread and gave God thanks and praise. He broke the bread, gave it to his disciples, and said: “Take this, all of you, and eat it; this is my body which will be given up for you.”





  
When supper was ended, he took the cup. Again he gave God thanks and praise, gave the cup to his disciples, and said: “Take this, all of you, and drink from it; this is the cup of my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant. It will be shed for you and for all so that sins may be forgiven. Do this in memory of me.”

After some time, Jesus got up from the table and went to a different part of the room.  He put a large towel around him, making himself look like a servant.  After that, he poured water into a large bowl and began to wash the disciples' feet.  He then dried them with the towel that was wrapped around Him.

When Jesus had finished washing all of the disciples’ feet, he returned to the table.  "Do you understand what I have done for you?"  Jesus asked them.
Jesus is like a King - but even greater than a king, He's the King of Kings!  By washing the disciples’ feet, He was doing something that only a servant would do.
This is an example of how you should treat others.  You don't have to actually wash other people's feet, but do kind things to others and act like a servant for Jesus.

Wildfire

In March, Wildfire, the hot air balloon, came to our school. It was gigantic. It was Yellow, red and orange. The basket was made of cane.

I was excited because I got a ride in Wildfire. My friends and I climbed into the hot air balloon. It was warm. Underneath the burner, it felt like a burning  bonfire. It warmed me up and warmed my friends up too. I  was excited to get a ride in the hot air balloon with my friend. It just hovered over top of the ground.

It got me really excited to see such a big balloon. The balloon was awesome too. I  was happy just like Craig and Jack.

Live Simply Day

We had a live simply day so that we could stand in solidarity with the poor people in our world. To live simply means to live with no laptops, no technology, no shoes  and no pens.
