This Sunday is Palm Sunday, as we remember the beginning of Passion Week, when our Lord Jesus went to the cross for our sins.  We will celebrate the Lord’s Supper together and finish our Upper Room series by walking through John 17:20-26 and looking at “The Prayer of Jesus, Part II.”   

Be reading over the text, and be in prayer…  

Thank you so much for praying for me during my recent trip to South Asia.  There is such an amazing move of the Holy Spirit going on in one area that the IMB asked a small group of trustees to go and see it and experience it.  My life will never be the same!  

And you are a crucial part of it, through your prayers and your giving and your sending of missionaries. Our church is touching the world with the gospel!  

I’ll see you on Sunday, with a Bible in my hand. 

By His Grace, For His Glory, To The Nations, 

Dr. Thurman Hayes, Jr.
