On Maundy Thursday (2nd April – 7.00pm) we are holding a Benefice Agape Supper at Holy Trinity, Stowupland.
An Agape Meal, or “Love Feast” as it is also called, is an ancient tradition of table
fellowship. The practice of holy hospitality precedes the Church, going back to the hospitality Abraham showed to his three unknown visitors (Genesis 18). In the early Church, agape meals were a time of fellowship for “People of the Way,” as the early Christians were called. Communion was usually part of these meals so they also celebrated the sacrificial love of Jesus.

On the night before he died, Jesus had supper with his friends. It was at this meal that he blessed the bread and the wine, he gave it to his disciples and told them to take this in remembrance of Him.
At the Agape supper we will be having a simple supper of soup, bread and cheese with friends and as part of this we will also bless the bread and the wine and share it among those gathered as a remembrance of that Last Supper so long ago but is the basis for our Christian faith today – The Eucharist or Communion
Everyone is welcome to come to the Agape Supper and afterwards join us in the church as we strip the altar in readiness for Good Friday. If you would like more information please do speak to someone from the Ministry Team.

On Easter Saturday 4th April at 4.00pm, we are doing a drama production entitled - 'St Peter at Easter'. All are very welcome.
