MAUNDY THURSDAY SERVICE Thursday April 17th @ 7pm in the Sanctuary On the evening before Jesus was crucified, according to the Gospel of John, Jesus washed the feet of the disciples. We hearken back to that evening in our Maundy Thursday service. Jesus prophetically called on his disciples to be actively engaged in serving the world.

In our Maundy Thursday service at 7:00 PM on April 17th, we will share in a ritual of hand washing. There will also be a brief homily following the biblical text, as well as hymns, solos, and prayers. We hope you join us, in person or by live stream.

GOOD FRIDAY SERVICE

Friday April 18th @ 7pm in the Sanctuary

On Good Friday evening, we gather for a contemplative service in which we are invited to reflect on the seven last words of Jesus through scripture, music, and spoken reflections from individuals in the St. Mark’s community. The Chancel Choir and Bell Choir will lead us musically. We hope you join us, in person or by live stream.
