Maundy Thursday
“Maundy” comes from “mandatum” — commandment. We gather to remember Jesus’ commandment that we love one another as he has loved us. On this special night, we will gather in the parish hall for a pot-luck Mediterranean supper and Eucharist. Maribeth Payne will be our preacher. At the conclusion of the supper, Eucharist, and foot washing, we will go into the church for the stripping of the altar and an all-night vigil at the altar of repose.
All night vigil at the Altar of Repose
The Church will remain open all night so you can come at any time during the night to pray silently as the disciples would have done at the Mount of Olives. As we remove the reserved sacrament from the aumbry and take it to the altar of repose, we remember the movement of Our Lord from the house of the Last Supper to the Garden of Olives, where He underwent His agony and where He would be betrayed by Judas and arrested to be brought before Pilate prior to his crucifixion.
Easter Eve Family Service at 5PM in the church
This simple service of Taizé songs and stories from Holy Week is a chance to pray with Jesus and each other as we await the resurrection.
Festive Easter Eucharist at 8AM and 9:45AM.
