Maundy Thursday Worship

In-person and Online

We begin the Great Service of the Three Days of Jesus’ death and resurrection. On this day we remember Christ’s last meal with his disciples, but the central focus is his commandment that we live love one another as Christ has loved us. As Jesus washed his disciples’ feet, so we are called to give and receive love in humble service to the entire world.

The service will include the opportunity for Holy Communion and individual absolution, mirroring Ash Wednesday at the beginning of Lent when our confession was answered by the imposition of ashes. After communion, the altar and chancel are stripped bare, preparing for the grief and darkness of Good Friday.

This year, Bishop Kevin Strickland of the Southeastern Synod, ELCA will preach at both our Maundy Thursday services.
