Holy Week

Maundy Thursday April 17 in remembrance of Jesus’ modeling servanthood even until his last hour, we will gather for a simple meal and readings, of tending each other by following Jesus’ practice of foot-washing, and then the stripping of the altar that symbolizes his arrest and imprisonment.
