Holy Thursday Liturgy

Holy Thursday Liturgy

It was now the time of Passover. Jesus’ followers came to Him and said, “We will go and prepare everything for the Passover Feast. Where do you want to eat the feast?” Jesus answered, “Go into the city. A man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. He will go into a house. Tell the owner of the house, “The teacher wants you to prepare the room for the Passover meal.” So the followers left and went into the city and prepared the Passover Feast.

In the evening, Jesus went to that house with the twelve. While they were eating, Jesus took the bread and gave God thanks and praise. He broke the bread, gave it to his disciples, and said: “Take this, all of you, and eat it; this is my body which will be given up for you.”





  
When supper was ended, he took the cup. Again he gave God thanks and praise, gave the cup to his disciples, and said: “Take this, all of you, and drink from it; this is the cup of my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant. It will be shed for you and for all so that sins may be forgiven. Do this in memory of me.”

After some time, Jesus got up from the table and went to a different part of the room.  He put a large towel around him, making himself look like a servant.  After that, he poured water into a large bowl and began to wash the disciples' feet.  He then dried them with the towel that was wrapped around Him.

When Jesus had finished washing all of the disciples’ feet, he returned to the table.  "Do you understand what I have done for you?"  Jesus asked them.
Jesus is like a King - but even greater than a king, He's the King of Kings!  By washing the disciples’ feet, He was doing something that only a servant would do.
This is an example of how you should treat others.  You don't have to actually wash other people's feet, but do kind things to others and act like a servant for Jesus.

The Hot Air Balloon

Today, the hot air balloon came to our school and was inflated on our school field.

The whole school got to school at 7am or 7.30 because the hot air balloon was at school. The hot air balloon was very colourful. It was pink, orange, red, and yellow with a cane basket and with a REALLY REALLY BIG BALLOON!!!  and it was called Wildfire. My family got to school at 7.16 and that’s when they were just spreading out the hot air balloon.

About 15 minutes later, heaps  more people got there. When everybody was there, they started inflating it.

When the hot air balloon was all set up, they started letting people have turns going up in the air a little bit. The first people to go up in the hot air balloon was Mrs Thomson then Paige D, Daneka, Mackenzie and I were the next people to go up in it. We climbed in the hot air balloon before we went up. We hovered over the ground for a bit and then we went up. It was super fun and freaky. The only thing I didn't like about it was that we were all seniors and they made the hot air balloon not go very high and with the juniors the did go really high.
