Maundy Thursday
April 17, 2014 @ 7:00 pm - 8:15 pm
Maundy Thursday, April 17, 7pm – The word Maundy is derived from the Latin word, madatum (commandment), and refers to Jesus giving the “new commandment” to “love one another as I have loved you” (John 13:34) to his disciples at the Last Supper. The Maundy Thursday service commemorates the Last supper and often focuses on two things Jesus did at the Last Supper: washing of the disciples’ feed and the institution of the sacrament of Holy Communion. The service ends in complete silence with the stripping of the altar, in recognition of Jesus prayers in the Garden of Gethsemane and the despair and death to come. All are welcome.
