Maundy Meal |
Last year's Maundy Thursday Passover Meal with Communion was greatly appreciated by the younger families who came, so we'll be doing something similar this year (while learning from trying to pack too much in last year!). Once again we'll share in a meal, just like Jesus and the disciples at the last supper. This time we're having Shepherd's Pie and pudding. Activities, readings and prayers will accompany the meal, and we will share Communion, just like Jesus did. This will be suitable for ALL ages, including the youngest children.
|
| 7pm for 7.30pm |
Fellowship Meal followed by Holy Communion |
If your preference is for something quieter, a hot meal will be served in church at 7.30pm, and will be followed by Holy Communion. The service will end with the stripping of the altars. |
