Thursday, March 29th
6:30pm Simple Supper
7:00pm Maundy Thursday Service

Most scholars agree that the English word Maundy in that name for the day is derived through Middle English and Old French mandé, from the Latin mandatum, the first word of the phrase “Mandatum novum do vobis ut diligatis invicem sicut dilexi vos” (“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you”), the statement by Jesus in the Gospel of John 13:34 by which Jesus explained to the Apostles the significance of his action of washing their feet. It also marks the beginning of the commemoration of the Passion and Death of Our Lord, signified visually by the stripping of the altar.
