Maundy Thursday Eucharist

Occurring
for 3 hours
Venue
St Gluvias Church
Address
Church Hill Penryn Falmouth, TR10 8AJ, United Kingdom

This Sung Eucharist service commemorates the Last Supper at which Jesus gave us the new commandment that we love one another (Latin mandatum, from which we derive the word Maundy).

This is the evening of the Last Supper. On his final night with his disciples, Jesus instituted the Eucharist, and commanded his disciples to wash one another’s feet, a command (mandatum in Latin), from which we get the name Maundy Thursday. After the Last Supper, Jesus and his disciples went out to the Garden of Gethsemane, to watch and pray, where Jesus was arrested.

After the “Stripping of the Altars”, which recalls Christ’s arrest, we, too, will have the opportunity to stay awhile, to watch and pray with the Lord, in the Sacrament Altar after this service. The service will end with an informal dispersal, but all are invited to remain for this “Watch”.

Keep ‘watch’
Following the service, all are welcome to keep ‘watch’ until 10.00pm in St Gluvias Church, as we follow the example of the first disciples, who waited with Our Lord in the Garden of Gethsemane.

Good Friday

Occurring
for 1 hour
Venue
St Gluvias Church
Address
Church Hill Penryn Falmouth, TR10 8AJ, United Kingdom

Good Friday – A solemn service that includes readings, reflections and the Veneration of the Cross.

There is both a certain starkness about the Good Friday liturgy and an elegant simplicity, in a rite that has changed very little in 1600 years.

We gather this afternoon, as Christians have done since the earliest days of the Church, not to mourn the death of Christ, but to celebrate the triumph of the cross. Yet it is still a very real and solemn liturgy we are about to celebrate; a liturgy which brings the power and effect of Good Friday into our lives in a very real way. So the vestments are blood-red in honour of the victory which gives all martyrdom and death its meaning.

The liturgy has a feel of restraint and awe in response to Jesus’ death upon the cross.

As the service details the suffering and death of Jesus Christ it may not be suitable for younger children.
