Maundy Thursday Service
“Just before the Passover Feast, Jesus knew that the time had come to leave this world to go to the Father. Having loved his dear companions, he continued to love them right to the end.”—Jn 13:1-2.
Jesus eagerly desired to be with his friends and brought them together one last time before his time of trial. That evening, he shared a meal with them and got up from supper to wash his disciples’ feet as an example of how they are to live—extending grace to all, vulnerable and enemy alike.
We too are invited to share a meal together with Jesus and each other on Maundy Thursday, April 2nd, 6:00 PM, before Good Friday comes. That evening, we will gather in the church sanctuary and a light meal will be provided. We will also practice what he taught us by washing each other’s feet. While this might evoke some hesitance within you, as it did with Peter, we hope to help each other lean into this practice of radical love that Jesus wants us to embody. While you will not be required to have your feet washed, we ask that you prayerfully consider how you would like to offer your love and presence to Jesus that evening.
