Week 32: Holy Week

It was wonderful to see the support of the Zion community and friends at our auction Friday night. Preliminary reports show this was our best year yet in raising money for Zion!!  Thank you for your prayer support as well.
I encourage you to worship with your children on these special days ahead.   Today we see Jesus declaring himself not only our King, but the promised Messiah.  On Maundy Thursday we see the remarkable transformation of the Passover into Holy Communion - Jesus himself became our saving Lamb of sacrifice.  Honor the Good Friday on which Christ died for our sins and the temple veil was torn in two - the separation that sin had caused between us and our Lord is no more.  And finally the glorious day of resurrection, EASTER, when we celebrate our victory in Christ over sin, death and the devil.  There is nothing we could ever do to deserve this love.  What a wonderful opportunity we have before us to learn and grow in our faith - to praise and thank God for this glorious gift!!,
