Maundy Thursday, April 14 at 7:00 pm
On this night we begin the Three Days during which we participate once again in the saving power of Jesus’ passing over from death into life. The Maundy Thursday service includes the words of Jesus’ new commandment (madatum, from which Maundy comes) to love one another. On this night in which Jesus was handed over to death we also gather around the Lord’s supper. At the service conclusion, the altar area is stripped of furnishings as a sign of Jesus’ abandonment.
we gather in the gym to experience the Living Last Supper and join with First Communicants in receiving Christ’s body and blood. Service concludes with silent procession to the worship space where we sing Were You There, followed by the solemnity of stripping the chancel as Psalm 22 is chanted.
