Maundy Thursday Worship, March 28 at 7 pm
HOLY WEEK 2024
Maundy Thursday Service
March 28, 7 p.m. (Sanctuary)
Join us for our Maundy Thursday Service, in which we commemorate Jesus’ servanthood in the washing of feet and the institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper. The word Maundy comes from the Latin mandatum novum or the new commandment. “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.” (John 3:34) This liturgy is filled with conflicting images. There is the joy of Communion, celebrated with all its splendor, but there is also deep sadness expressed in the stripping of the altar as we prepare the church for Good Friday, for the agony in the garden, and the arrest and betrayal of Jesus.
