Maundy Thursday receives its name from the mandatum (commandment) given by our Lord: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another” (John 13:34). At the Last Supper, Jesus washed his disciples’ feet and commanded them to love and serve one another as he had done that day. This day commemorates the Lord’s example of servant ministry, the institution of the Eucharist, the agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, and the betrayal leading to the crucifixion. This service will follow the traditional Maundy Thursday liturgy and will include the Stripping of the Altar.
We will have childcare for children ages between 0-5 years old. Kids 6 and older are welcome in the service.
