Maundy Thursday
Maundy Thursday Service will be a joint service between Anglicans and Lutherans. It will take place at Immanuel Anglican Church. It starts with a meal at 5:30. Around 6 pm, people will have the opportunity to have their feet washed. On that night, Jesus washed the feet of the disciples. Around 6:30 pm, we will be celebrating Holy Communion. On that night, Jesus had a Passover meal with the disciples in which he took the bread and said this is my body. He took the cup of wine and said this is the blood. Jesus commands us to remember and to do so as well. Finally, around 7 pm, we will move to the sanctuary. At that time, we will strip the altar. Then we will all leave in silence. Those who want to meditate can stay for a while. The time line is an approximation.
Good Friday
Good Friday service is at 10:30 am. It is the traditional Tenebrae service. We will read a piece of scripture. We will sing a hymn. We will extinguish a candle. We continue this process until Jesus is dead and placed in the tomb and all the candles are extinguished. We will pray. We will process the cross into the sanctuary. We will sing the Old Rugged Cross. We leave in silence. Those who want to meditate can stay for a while.
