Maundy/Thursday

Join us on Thursday, 3/29 at 7:30 p.m. for a joint Maundy/Thursday services with Bethel and Zion Lutheran Churches to be held at New Jerusalem. This traditional service will feature Holy Communion and a ceremonial stripping of the altar.

Maundy/Thursday commemorates the Last Supper, and Jesus' commandment to his disciples, "I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another." (John 13:34) 

We also will strip the altar after communion, a powerful symbol of the disciples abandoning Jesus, and Christ being physically stripped before the crucifixion.
