Worship and Sunday School: “Love”

The Bible describes love as a way of relating to others and to God that is more than just an emotion. It is a gift from God that is the greatest of all gifts, along with faith and hope. The Bible says that love is patient, kind, and forgiving, and that it does not envy, boast, or dishonor others. 

Here are some Bible verses about love:

  • 1 Corinthians 13:4–8

    This passage lists eight things love embraces and eight things love resists. It describes love as a way of relating to others that is not based on feelings, but rather on how we respond to situations. 

  • John 15:13

    This verse says, "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lays down his life for his friends". 

  • 1 John 4:11

    This verse says, "if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another". 

  • Deuteronomy 7:9

    This verse says, "Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments". 

  • John 14:21

    This verse says, "Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him".

Sunrise Service is a special Easter service that takes place at dawn, typically outdoors, to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The service begins before the sun rises, and as the sun comes up, the congregation joins together in song and prayer, celebrating the new day and the resurrection of Christ. The symbolism of the rising sun represents the new beginning that Christ's resurrection brought to the world.

Good Friday Prayer Vigil

Good Friday, the Friday before Easter, is the Christian day to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus and His death at Calvary. This Christian holiday is also known as Holy Friday, Great Friday, Great and Holy Friday, and Black Friday.

What is Good Friday, and why do we call the Friday of Holy Week “good”?

Good Friday, the Friday before Easter, is the Christian day to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus and His death at Calvary. This Christian holiday is also known as Holy Friday, Great Friday, Great and Holy Friday, and Black Friday.

For Christians, Good Friday is an important day of the year because it celebrates what we believe to be the most momentous weekend in the history of the world. Ever since Jesus died and was raised, Christians have proclaimed the cross and resurrection of Jesus to be the decisive turning point for all creation. Paul considered it “of first importance” that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and was raised to life on the third day, following what God had promised in the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3).

"For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance; that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures" (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)

On Good Friday, we remember the day Jesus willingly suffered and died by crucifixion as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins (1 John 1:10). Easter follows it, the glorious celebration of the day Jesus was raised from the dead, heralding his victory over sin and death and pointing ahead to a future resurrection for all who are united to him by faith (Romans 6:5).

~Communion Service ~ Patterson Community Church - Community Hall – Pastor Frost

~Communion Service ~ Patterson Community Church - Community Hall – Pastor Frost

Patterson Community Church - Community Hall – Pastor Frost

1059 Route 311, Patterson (old Grange Hall across street from Church on right)

Pieces of bread or hard little wafers. Wine or Welch’s. Or maybe you get fancy with sparkling grape juice. Weekly, monthly, or hardly ever. Communion is celebrated in Christian churches around the world, but it’s more than a mid-sermon snack. So, what is it actually? And why is it celebrated so many different ways? 

The Lord's Supper is also called "the Lord's table" (1 Corinthians 10:21), "communion," "cup of blessing" (1 Corinthians 10:16), and "breaking of bread" ( Acts 2:42 ). In the early Church it was called also "eucharist," or giving of thanks (Matthew 26:27), and generally by the Latin Church "mass," a name derived from the formula of dismission, Ite, missa est, i.e., "Go, it is discharged."

What is Communion?

The account of the institution of this ordinance is given in Matthew 26:26-29 , Mark 14:22-25 , Luke 22:19 Luke 22:20 , and 1 Corinthians 11:24-26 . It is not mentioned by John.

It was designed:
1. To commemorate the death of Christ: "This do in remembrance of me."
2. To signify, seal, and apply to believers all the benefits of the new covenant. In this ordinance Christ ratifies his promises to his people, and they on their part solemnly consecrate themselves to him and to his entire service.
3. To be a badge of the Christian profession.
4. To indicate and to promote the communion of believers with Christ.
5. To represent the mutual communion of believers with each other.

Palm Sunday: Christ’s Triumphal Entry Into Jerusalem


The Sunday before Easter is what the Christian world traditionally calls Palm Sunday. This day commemorates Jesus Christ’s triumphal entry into the city of Jerusalem the Sunday before His death.

Before entering Jerusalem for the final time, Jesus asked two of His disciples to bring Him a donkey’s foal, also known as a colt (see Matthew 21:1–7). In fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy, Jesus entered Jerusalem riding the colt (see Zechariah 9:9).
 
Many people came to greet Jesus and covered His path with palm leaves, flowering branches and cloth. Recognizing Him as their King, they shouted praises such as “Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord” (Luke 19:38) and “Hosanna to the Son of David” (Matthew 21:9).
