Living
Waters Update--
It
is not necessary to install a purification system at the O'Dells home
in Tazewell. The new well which we provided has pure, usable
water, but the three homes it serves need to be "shocked"
to purify the system from previous bacteria. We are waiting to
hear from Mike in Knoxville about when we can go to do this. We
will let you know when it is, in case someone would like to go and
participate, or see what has been done.
There
is a possibility of putting in the purification system at another
home in that area, possibly in the spring. The Christmas
concert will be a great opportunity to raise money to buy this
system. We will let you know any new information we receive.

Text
for this Sunday
Luke 22:7-23
The Preparation of the Passover
Then
came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the Passover lamb had to
be sacrificed. So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, ‘Go
and prepare the Passover meal for us that we may eat it.’ They
asked him, ‘Where do you want us to make preparations for
it?’ ‘Listen,’ he said to them, ‘when you have entered
the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him
into the house he enters and say to the owner of the house, “The
teacher asks you, ‘Where is the guest room, where I may eat the
Passover with my disciples?’ ” He will show you a large
room upstairs, already furnished. Make preparations for us there.’ So
they went and found everything as he had told them; and they prepared
the Passover meal.
The Institution of the Lord’s Supper
When
the hour came, he took his place at the table, and the apostles with
him. He said to them, ‘I have eagerly desired to eat this
Passover with you before I suffer; for I tell you, I will not
eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.’ Then
he took a cup, and after giving thanks he said, ‘Take this and
divide it among yourselves; for I tell you that from now on I
will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God
comes.’ Then he took a loaf of bread, and when he had given
thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body,
which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’ And he
did the same with the cup after supper, saying, ‘This cup that is
poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood. But see, the
one who betrays me is with me, and his hand is on the table. For
the Son of Man is going as it has been determined, but woe to that
one by whom he is betrayed!’ Then they began to ask one
another which one of them it could be who would do this.
