Cedarbrake Calendar

A Weekend Encounter with Jesus in the Upper Room The Upper Room in the Old City of Jerusalem marks the site where Jesus gave his final marching orders to His Apostles. On Holy Thursday night the Lord had one last chance to tell this motley band of men what He wanted them to do in the world. His words would call the Apostles to change the world and for most of them it would require their life. The words of Jesus continue to call His followers even today to do their part to change their world. It is a forever-mission that is challenging Christians everywhere to love one another and fight for the good. The battle is raging. We have work to do.
