Celebrating Christ's Presence: Maundy Thursday

for 4 hours, 29 mins
St Mary's, Portsea
Fratton Road Portsea Portsmouth, PO1 5PH, United Kingdom

On Maundy Thursday, we remember the last supper Jesus shared with his friends. During the meal, the Servant King washed his disciples' feet. Afterwards, he led them to the Garden of Gethsemane and asked them to "watch and pray".

Join us for a Eucharist of the Last Supper. Afterwards, you are invited to take part in a vigil of silent prayer, lasting until midnight. We are still looking for more volunteers to help sustain this vigil; if you intend to attend, please sign the list in church so that we can see which 15-minute slots still need filling.

St Faith's will also be holding their Eucharist of the Last Supper at 6pm; this will similarly end with a vigil of prayer.

St Mary's service will be livestreamed on our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/PortseaParish) and our YouTube channel (https://youtu.be/bBIsR3aRl48). To engage with the service, you can find the order of service on our AChurchNearYou events page: https://www.achurchnearyou.com/church/16764/service-and-events/events/1316217/
