Maundy Thursday takes its name from the Latin ‘mandatum’, meaning ‘commandment’, in reference to the new commandment Jesus gives his disciples at the Last Supper (John 13:34). This service also models Jesus washing the disciples’ feet as an embodied action of friendship and servanthood. This can be a powerful experience, but for those not comfortable with participating in this way, the washing of hands is also offered.  

  • Prelude: Chorale Prelude on 'Ah, Holy Jesus" (Nancy Telfer)
  • Solo: Come Unto Him, All Ye that Labour (from Handel's Messiah)
  • Readings: Luke 22: 14-20; Mark 13: 1-13

At the end of the Maundy observance the church is stripped bare of all symbols and colour, in preparation for Good Friday.

This service is offered in person only.
