Well, I've missed the boat on letting you all know about the Maundy Thursday services, but at least I can post the others. Here is what we just did:
Maundy Thursday Liturgy
April 17th @ 5:00pm
Maundy Thursday
celebrates the gift of the sacrament of Christ's Body and Blood, and the
self-giving love of Christ in the washing of the feet.
Tonight is the night to reflect on Jesus' words during that last meal together: Serve each other - do as I have done to you. Love one another as I have loved you. The opening rite of the Maundy Thursday service says it best.
This is the day
Christ the Lamb of God gave himself into the hands of those who would slay him.
This is the day
Christ gathered with his disciples in the upper room.
This is the day
Christ took a towel and washed the disciples' feet, giving us an example that we should do to others as he has done to us.
This is the day
that Christ our
God gave us this holy feast,
that we who eat
the bread
and drink the
cup
may here proclaim his holy sacrifice
and be partakers
of his resurrection,
and at the last day may reign with him in heaven. |

Holy Saturday
Liturgy
April 19th @ 12 noon
At this simple liturgy, it is as though the church has died and now waits silently to be
resurrected out of the baptismal font at the Great Vigil of Easter.
