Palm Sunday Procession and Communion at St Mary's Church
The Maundy Thursday Agape Meal at St. Mary’s Church, Thornbury, is a reflective and communal service that commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus with His disciples. The meal includes the sharing of simple food—such as bread, wine, and fruit—symbolizing Christ's love and fellowship. The service typically features scripture readings, including the washing of the disciples' feet, and prayers of thanksgiving and intercession. The evening culminates with the stripping of the altar, symbolizing the desolation leading to Good Friday. This intimate, participatory service emphasizes humility, love, and community as the congregation prepares for the solemn events of Easter.
