Remembering Christ’s Last Days – Maundy Thursday
27.04.2017
On Passion Friday Gethsemane church gathered again to remember Christ’s last hours before crucifixion. We watched bits of “The Passion of the Christ”, and Deacon Slavic Vorovchenko gave short messages on how every episode of Christ’s suffering mattered to us. After each video, we had a topical praying for God to deliver them from pride and make us humble.

Putting Our Sins on the Cross Then Pastor Valeriy Marchenko spoke about Jesus’s merciful act of taking our sins on the cross. Afterwards, everyone prayerfully wrote sinful things they wanted to be out from their lives on little sheets of paper, approached the cross in the sanctuary and attached them onto a nail in the cross.

Then we all went out into the churchyard and watched “our sins” placed in a bucket and symbolically burnt. All our sins are gone! Thank you, Jesus!
