Maundy Thursday Service

MAUNDY THURSDAY marks the events surrounding the Last Supper, where Jesus, after washing the disciples feet in the upper room, said, “A new commandment [Latin: mandatum, ie. Maundy] I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Take part in this beautiful service where we reflect on Christ’s love and receive the Lord’s Supper.

Holy Week: Palm Sunday

This day marks the culmination of Lent and the beginning of Holy Week. Join us as we celebrate Christ’s triumphal entry to Jerusalem and solemnly turn our gaze towards the events to follow that week. “We who hail Jesus as King one moment, may in the next deny him, even joining with the crowd in shouting, ‘Crucify him!’”

Stations of the Cross

Stations of the Cross

The stations of the cross originate from pilgrims traveling to Jerusalem and re-walking the path Christ walked on his way to calvary. They took this experience back with them to their home congregations so those who were unable to travel to Israel could re-live and experience that same spiritual journey.

It is common in many historically rooted churches to invite their congregants to do self-guided Stations of the Cross every Friday (the day Christ was crucified) during Lent.

The stations vary in length from 5 to 36 stations, with the most common being 14. We will do 10 stations which should take around 30 minutes. Here is the guide will be using.

The purpose of the the Stations of the Cross is to help us reflect upon the final experiences of Jesus before his death and burial, increase a heart of gratitude for his deep love, and in a very real sense, allow the reality of his suffering and death to break into our modern world by setting aside the time to participate, the reading of Scriptures, and meditation upon their implications.

We will share breakfast together and the making crosses. All are invited!

When: Saturday, April 2nd at 9:30AM.

Where: We will meet outdoors BEHIND the playground at St. Thomas Episcopal Church.
