Maundy Thursday Holy Communion with Stripping the Altar

for 1 hour
St Peter
Next to Rowley Manor Hotel and Stables Rowley (Little Weighton) Beverley, HU20 3XR, United Kingdom

You are warmly invited to join us on Maundy Thursday as we gather at the beginning of the most solemn part of Holy Week.

This service takes us into the events of the night before Jesus’ crucifixion. Together we remember the Last Supper, where he gave us the gift of Holy Communion and the commandment to love one another as he has loved us. Through scripture, prayer and the sharing of bread and wine, we are drawn again into the heart of Christ’s self-giving love and into our life together as his people.

The service concludes with the Stripping of the Altar. As the church is gradually left bare and the atmosphere becomes quiet and stark, we recall how Jesus was taken from his disciples and led towards his suffering and death. The movement is deliberate and powerful - from the warmth of the shared meal to the stillness and emptiness of the night. It invites us to watch, reflect and enter more deeply into the journey to the cross.

This is a reflective and moving service that marks the turning point of Holy Week. All are welcome to come and keep this watch with Christ as we prepare for Good Friday and the hope of Easter.
