On Maundy Thursday, April 2, we will gather for a simple meal of foods Jesus and his disciples may have eaten (pita bread, olives, nuts, hummus, water, a simple salad…). We’ll be together in fellowship, singing, candlelight and Holy Communion as we remember the night Jesus broke bread with his friends before his journey to the cross. We do need RSVPs, so please sign-up on the sign-up sheet on the Welcome Table or let the Church Office know.
