Maundy Thursday Service and Watch of the Passion

for 2 hours
St George, East Boldon
Front Street East Boldon, NE36 0SW, United Kingdom

On Maundy Thursday we gather in church at St George's, just as Jesus and his disciples did in the upper room. On that night Jesus gave himself in humble service, washing the feet of his friends, and we also offer the opportunity to have your feet washed, as a symbolic following of his command to serve each other.

We'll share communion, the bread and wine, remembering Jesus commandment "to do this in memory of me", and then at the end of the service, the church is ceremonially stripped and we move into the chapel for the Watch of the Passion. This is a time of quiet prayer and contemplation, waiting with Jesus just as the first disciples did. You're welcome to stay for as short or as long a time as you'd like.
