Session 69: The Lord's Supper
What a great week we had in SS this past Sunday. 58 in attendance and a great job by all of you guys with the birthday party for Jesus. This week is a BUSY week for everyone. But... this lesson is EXTREMELY important. So, I am asking each of you to not take this one lightly. I know you will be pressed for time, but please take the time to focus on the lesson. How fitting that we had the Lord's Supper this past Sunday night. I would have to say that I believe this is one of the best services we have at church. It is a serious time of reflection and remembrance. The videos are real good this week. Take the time to watch them and even use them in your class this week. What about it? Who wants to lead off and discuss this topic? Let me know what you think. Take the time to explain to our students the importance and significance of this event and also why it is a reverent time in God's house. Sound off!!!

Now for the controversial question......Judas Iscariot was certainly present at the Passover meal, but did he participate in
"The Lord's Supper" ? Ane by the way what difference does it make?
I liked what the writer had to say when we are to evaluate ourselves. He wrote, "May God grant us the ability to be honest in our evaluations of ourselves and our relationships with other people. May He also grant us the humility and grace that we need to restore relationships with other believers who are estranged from us." I began to think...
