“When Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene, the women, and the two disciples on the Emmaus Road they were still dancing a funeral dance. Their sorrow and pain still had to be worked through before they could accept the new resurrection dance Jesus came to teach them. Jesus knew that and helped them so they could dare to dance a new dance.” Click on the tab above labeled “Video Sermon Archive” to view Pastor Debra Armstrong’s message for April 18 entitled, “The Upper Room Dance, Part 1.”

The origin of many of our traditions, rituals and customs are vague or completely lost to history. However, the Christian sacrament of Eucharist (or Holy Communion) had a specific genesis on a well-known occasion. This tradition was initiated on a Thursday evening nearly twenty centuries ago when Jesus shared his last meal with his apostles when He asked his followers to “do this in remembrance of me.” To view a recording of the Maundy Thursday service commemorating the Last Supper, click on the tab above labeled “Video Sermon Archive” and then select the April 1st entry.
