We warmly invite you to join us for our Maundy Thursday service, a deeply reflective and moving beginning to the Easter Triduum.
The service will include an Agape Meal, sharing simple food together in remembrance of the fellowship of the Last Supper, as Jesus gathered with his disciples. This is followed by a time of worship as we recall Christ’s commandment to love one another.
As the service continues, the church will be gradually stripped of its adornments, a powerful and symbolic act reflecting the abandonment of Christ and the desolation of the world as he goes to his passion.
The service concludes in silence with the Watch, a quiet time of waiting and prayer, echoing the disciples’ vigil with Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. You are invited to remain for as long as you feel able, keeping watch in stillness and contemplation.
