The Lord’s Supper
Thursday, April 8, 7:00 p.m.
At Vineyard Boise in the new Sanctuary
On
this night we will tell three stories of the Passover: the first
Passover in Egypt with Moses, a traditional Passover meal with a Jewish
family, and the Last Supper as told by the Apostle Peter. Our gathering
will end with a celebration of Communion.
 |
Childcare is available for kids five years old and
younger. Please check them into the nursery where you will be
provided with a vibrating pager in case your child needs you during
the presentation. |

Children older than five are welcome to join us in

together at the end of the service. |

on the hike. |

Sin Cards
|
At the top of Calvary (Table Rock) we will be placing
our Sin Cards in a wooden box at the foot of the cross. Two Roman
guards will be bringing the box through the crowd so that everyone
will have access to it. A hymn is printed on the back of the sin
card. You may want to hold on to the card until we have all sung
together. |
|
Sin Cards are available in this packet. Additional
cards will be available at the entrance gate of the Idaho Botanical
Garden. |

Vineyard Boise is providing two buses for
transporting the elderly and those who would have difficulty with
the physical hike. We have room for 88 individuals. Please sign up
