Maundy Thursday Worship

Palm frond, goblets, bread and grapes with the word Maundy Thursday.

Maundy Thursday commemorates the event when Jesus gathered with the disciples for the Feast of Passover.  They shared in a meal.  He took bread, blessed it and broke it, and instituted the Lord’s Supper (Holy Communion).  He then took his disciples to a garden to pray, where he was betrayed and subsequently crucified.

On Thursday, April 17 at 6:30pm, we will begin worship in the Fellowship Hall at tables with one another.  We will have a free light meal and communion.  Then we will process to the sanctuary for Tenebrae - the service of shadows - where we will pray, hear the last words of Christ, and strip the altar in preparation of his crucifixion, as the sanctuary slowly becomes shrouded in darkness.

We hope you will join us for this meaningfully spiritual service.

The meal is provided by the church; there is no charge for the meal.  As always, visitors, friends, and members are all equally welcome.
