Light Meal & Worship: 6:30PM

The First Holy Communion

On Maundy Thursday Jesus gathered with the disciples for the Feast of Passover. They shared in a meal. He took bread, blessed it and broke it, and instituted the Lord’s Supper (Holy Communion). He then took his disciples to a garden to pray, where he was betrayed and crucified.

Maundy Thursday

On Thursday, April 17 at 6:30pm, we will begin worship in the Auditorium (larger social hall) at table with one another. We will have a free light meal and communion. Then we will process to the sanctuary for Tenebrae - the service of shadows - where we will pray, hear the last words of Christ, and strip the altar in preparation of his crucifixion, as the sanctuary slowly becomes shrouded in darkness.

We hope you will join us for this meaningfully spiritual service.

The meal is provided by the church; there is no charge for the meal, and there is no need to bring any food along with you. As always, visitors, friends, and members are all equally welcome.

Please note, with having Tenebrae included in our Maundy Thursday worship service, we will not be having a separate Good Friday evening worship service; however, there will still be the Good Friday Cross Walk taking place.

Also, please note, due to this service taking place in two different rooms in the building with a meal during the worship service, this service will be in-person only (the meal and worship service will not be live streamed).
