2011 Holy Thursday



The boys made a tissue paper ''stained glass" crosses
  to remind us of what Jesus did on the cross for us,
 that He died and Rose Again, so we could spend eternity in heaven with him!

 Our dinner menu reminded us of Jesus' last supper.The conversation was lively and excited as we shared what reminded us of Jesus. The stripes and piercings of  the matzo cracker reminded us of where the nails went through and the marks of the leather whip. The bitter herbs reminded someone of the tears shed by the Israelites when under Pharoah. The lamb of the passover lamb, protection from God, and Jesus' taking the our place for the consequence of our sins.
Pete led us in the Washing of Feet, like when Jesus served his closest friends, by washing their feet.
  Josh especially like the foot washing; asking for more washing and more time :-)
 Not only were our feet bathed, Pete bathed us in prayer too.
 The boys washed Tita Marn's feet as I prayed over her.

 We were blessed during our time together during this sweet tradition. Marnie closed out the evening with the boys, while Pete and I enjoyed watching Soul Surfer at the theatres!
