Following our Sacred Supper (in person), join us for our Maundy Thursday worship service, with the Rev. Martha Clark, when we revisit the Passover story and are given the Lord's new commandment.

Follow Jesus on this fateful night,

through the Readings, Foot washing,

Holy Eucharist and Stripping of the Altar.

Ending in the darkened room with Silent Prayers.

 

Our LIVE service begins at 7 pm.  Thanks be to God for declining COVID-19 transmission rates in Clarke County, where hospitalizations and deaths continue to remain low.  Because of this masks are now optional for in-person worship, but are still available in the Narthex, with hand sanitizer stationed throughout the church.


If you are more comfortable continuing to keep your distance, we understand. 

You can still join us for online worship, via Zoom, using the following link:

The Collect of the Day:  Almighty Father, whose dear Son, on the night before he suffered, instituted the Sacrament of his Body and Blood: Mercifully grant that we may receive it thankfully in remembrance of Jesus Christ our Lord, who in these holy mysteries gives us a pledge of eternal life; and who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Ash Wednesday Prayer:  Almighty God, you have created us out of the dust of the earth: Grant that these ashes may be to us a sign of our mortality and penitence, that we may remember that it is only by your gracious gift that we are given everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Savior.  Amen.
