Pastor Doug's Thought for Today April 2


Good Morning,
Today is Maundy Thursday. It is a wet and chilly day in St Joseph yielding about an inch and a half of rain so far. The Sanctuary at Ashland is open all day for prayer and you are invited for Communion from 6:00 to 7:00, this is come and go.  Tomorrow is Good Friday and we will have service at 6:00 pm.  I hope you will join us as we prepare for Easter.  We received good news yesterday, Jess and family will arrive tomorrow.  It will be fun to have them with us for Easter.  Mark and Winja and Emma leave for Germany today to join Winja's family.  Please join with me in prayers for safe travel and a wonderful trip.  My friends Easter is coming.  Enjoy a beautiful rainy day today!

Blessings, Doug

Today's Scripture

Matthew 20: 17-19 (New International Version)
 
Now Jesus was going up to Jerusalem. On the way, he took the Twelve aside and said to them, “We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!”

Today's Thought

This is an important message in the narrative.  Jesus foretold what was to happen.  What did the disciples think would happen?  Did they not hear or ignore Jesus?  He told them of the coming doom and of the coming promise.  I hope today we can grasp what Jesus said.  Never loose heart, Jesus is alive!  Just a thought for today!
