Maundy Thursday --- HIS Body & Blood March 28, 2024

A place to call home: St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, welcome home. We especially welcome to our house of 
worship our guests who have joined us today. We pray you will be strengthened by the good news about God’s grace, love, and forgiveness to us through Jesus.
We say with the Psalmist, whether here on campus or viewing online, “I rejoiced with those who said to me, 
‘Let us go to the house of the LORD’” (Psalm 122:1).
May the Lord continue to help us grow in His grace and knowledge as we hear, speak, and sing His holy Word.

Worship Focus: How important is blood? We cannot exist without it. We are encouraged to take 
measures to protect the blood within our bodies, including when we get a cut on any part of our 
body so to reduce or prevent any infection from getting into our bloodstream. Blood is the focus of 
our Service tonight, not our blood but the blood of Jesus. He was willing to shed His blood so our 
‘blood’ would not be eternally impacted by the severe consequence of our sin – eternal death. It is 
not a pleasant topic unless we can grasp the impact of what Jesus did for us through His blood given 
and shed for us … for all.
