MAUNDY THURSDAY
Thursday, April 17

The lengthening shadows of early evening provide the backdrop for this worship service filled with signs and symbols of Jesus's sacrificial love. Children who have participated in the For You Communion Milestone join with all of us in Holy Communion, as we receive together Jesus's body broken and blood outpoured. The service concludes as the altar is stripped bare and draped in black cloth, symbols that call to mind the impending death of our Lord.

Prayer walk
Open from Dawn to Dusk
Holy Week is the perfect time to explore new ways to pray with this reflective journey outside amid God's Creation. The Walk begins in the Shepherd's Garden (at the rear of the property) and winds its way through our quiet campus.
