This Do In Remembrance…

In October we as a staff were blessed to be able to have a lovely communion and foot washing service hosted by John and Deb Rumble from Washington. ( Wendy Levy’s parents )

Here Deb and two of her granddaughters mix the dough for the unleavened communion bread.

Willing sister hands knead the dough smooth, blending the individual ingredients. Working it together till it forms one big happy union just like all of us blending together and with Christ until we are all one body melted together.

Teaching little sister hands to make the bread. The bread we eat to help us remember how much Jesus loves us!

We roll it out gentle, cutting each piece with care! The older teaching the younger just like Jesus said!

This is my body broken for you and as you eat it remember me~ Jesus

And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”    Luke 22:19

This is my blood poured out for you and as you drink it remember me ~Jesus

And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the covenant in my blood. Luke 22:20

“ If I then your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you.”  John 13:14,15

Real life gets messy, people get messy, trials are hard, and patience wears thin but in the middle of it all we stop to remember… remember Jesus, remember love, remember why we are here!!
