Maundy Thursday commemorates Jesus’ Last Supper with his disciples. Their ritual meal was a celebration of the Jewish Passover, but Jesus gave new meaning to the bread and wine they shared. Our sacrament of Holy Communion is a constant reminder of this meal and Jesus’ promise to be with us always. This service of remembrance includes music by the Sanctuary Choir and Handbell Choir.

Attend the in-person or livestream Maundy Thursday service at 7 pm.

We’ve been taught

to wait our turn,

to ask politely—

we do not want to appear greedy.

We’ve been taught:

just a pinch of salt,

just a dash of sugar,

nothing in excess.

We’ve been taught:

raise your hand,

keep your voice down,

no talking in church.

We’ve been taught to

never make a scene,

but I simply cannot abide.

I am one part questions,

two parts hunger.

I am a million prayers

and deep hope

wrapped up in one.

I am famished and hopeful,

eager and humbled.

I am using my outdoor voice inside.

I am saying,

Not just my feet,

but my head and my hands!

I want to go where you go.

Inspired by John 13:1-20
