Last Sunday, April 13 (on Palm Sunday) we had Jeff and Holly, representatives from Prison Fellowship join us to share about their work. We were especially uplifted by the presence and testimony of Jose, who spoke about his 16 years in prison and how the Spirit worked through people like Jeff and Holly to completely turn his life around. In the coming weeks I, along with others from the plant, will get a first-hand look at the work Prison Fellowship does as we seek, both individually and as a Community, to get further involved in this work to take the Gospel to the incarcerated.
Then on Thursday we had a Maundy Thursday Seder meal. We gathered in the home of Bob and Jacquie Danz for a couple of hours to get a taste of the meal that our Savior celebrated with his disciples before his betrayal, sacrificial death, and victorious resurrection.
The Community (even the kiddos!) enjoyed the unique nature of the 15 page Seder (which means "order") Haggadah (which means "the telling") as well as the authentic Passover cuisine - lamb, noodle kugel, potato kugel, carrot tzimmes, matzo, etc. One of my favorite parts of the seder is the end, when the 4th cup was poured but not drank, and we heard, "May you go forth and tell this story to the children of many generations, that they would come to believe and be saved by the blood of the Lamb, Y’shua HaMashiach." May the Spirit give you the grace to pursue this commission wherever you live!
