Maundy Thursday, April 9th at 7:00 p.m.

This service remembers the Last Supper Jesus had with his disciples. Though we will have had Communion on April 5th this is a special day to celebrate it again in the context of the final days leading up to Easter morning. As on Palm Sunday, you will need to provide your own elements of food and drink. We will also have a contemplative prayer/meditation led by our own Lisa Beacham, and musical offerings by church members. The call in/link for this service and Good Friday will be the personal numbers we use for most of our non-worship Zoom meetings. It uses our church office phone number as the Meeting ID.
