Good News from St. Nicholas Episcopal Church April 9, 2017
Holy Week
“Therefore, God elevated him to the place of
highest honor and gave him the name above all
other names.” Phil. 2: 9
Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday.
The day we remember Jesus’ triumphal
journey into Jerusalem before His crucifixion.
When the disciples saw the enthusiastic
crowds, they brought a donkey for Jesus to
ride on, while the people spread their cloaks
and through branches from the trees.
“Hosanna! Hosanna to the Son of David.”
Palms from ancient times were symbols of victory and triumph.
Maundy Thursday represents Jesus’ Passover meal with His disciples. Maundy is
derived from the Latin word for "command," and refers to Jesus’ commandment to
the disciples to "Love one another as I have loved you." (Service at 7 pm)
If we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another.
1 John 1: 7
“We made chili and en-
tered into a St. Nicholas
‘Chili Cook Off.’ ”
“We used our secret
recipes!” March 12 was great fellowship! Thank you to our chili makers!
This is the best chili cook off St. Nicholas has had yet!

When Jesus Prays for Your
Faith
The doctrine of “Christian Assurance”
is the biblical teaching that Jesus con-
tinues to pray for us at the right hand
of the Father
“My dear children. . .We have a friend
who speaks to the Father for us. He
is Jesus Christ, the Blameless One.”
1 John 2: 1-2
“Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because
he always lives to intercede for them.” Heb. 7: 25
Remember that Judas and Peter both betrayed Jesus. Jesus prayed for Peter: “I have
prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. When you have turned back,
strengthen your brothers.” Lk. 22: 32
Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing.
