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.  Lloyd, Don and Gerry

Pray for:

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.
