A THOUGHT FROM JOHN CALVIN: “The evangelists
leave out many divine discourses. They glance only at the fact that
Jesus went out willingly to meet those who betrayed him.”

PRAYER
ANTHEM
Beneath the Cross of
Jesus Hal H. Hopson
Beneath the cross of
Jesus I fain would take my stand,
The shadow of a mighty
rock within a weary land;
A home within the
wilderness, a rest upon the way
From the burning of
the noontide heat, and the burden of the day.
Adoramus te, O
Domine Jesu Christe. (We worship you, Lord Jesus Christ.)
Upon the cross of
Jesus mine eye at times can see;
I see the very dying
form of One who suffered there for me.
And from my stricken
heart with tears two wonders I confess:
The wonders of
redeeming love and my unworthiness.
SCRIPTURE
1 Corinthians 11:23-26
Matthew 26:26-30
