Supping with Jesus – Maundy Thursday, April 1 6:30 pm

Maundy Thursday is the Thursday before Easter. Christians and Jews share this time as commemorating of the Passover, but as Christians, we also commemorate the Last Supper, during which Christ instituted the sacraments of the Eucharist. This day before “Good Friday” gives us a glimpse of the best and worst of being a living person. It is a cross-over point between life and death for Jesus and death and life for us. As part of our Holy Week focus, and our preparation for Easter we will as a community of faith, have the privilege of sharing in the Lord’s Supper on this holy night.
