Maundy Thursday - March 28
5:30 PM Maundy Thursday for Children and Families, Followed by a Simple Supper: Join us as we explore Jesus’ last night with his disciples. This simplified service is designed with a particular focus on children, however everyone is welcome. Sign up for the dinner, so we know how much to prepare.

7:30 PM Holy Eucharist, Foot-washing, Stripping of the Altar: This is a busy night. We move from places of warmth and service, of washing feet, calls to love, and Jesus’ last meal with his disciples, to anguish in the garden, betrayal, and desolation. In the distance we begin to hear the sounds of crucifixion.

8:30 PM Thursday until Noon of Good Friday: Altar of Repose Vigil: A vigil is kept at the Altar of Repose from the close of Maundy Thursday services to the beginning of the Mass of the Pre-sanctified Eucharist. At least two people are needed for each hour of the vigil. One person is a “Watch” at the Altar of Repose and the other is a “Guard” by the alley door. Sign up at church on Sunday or online at https://signup.com/go/Zcynnyp. Please call the office if you need assistance signing up.

Good Friday - March 29 at Noon - Mass of the Pre-sanctified Eucharist:
Take this time to go to the cross with Jesus in scripture, prayer, and music. Holy Communion blessed at the Maundy Thursday Eucharist (pre-sanctified) is distributed.
