Maundy Thursday Service – April 5, 2007 - 7 pm
- Exodus 12:1-3;12-14
- Psalm 116:1-2;12-19
- 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
- John 13:1-17
- John 13:34-35
- Stations of the Cross: This is to be done individually. Those not participating in feetwashing may go ahead and begin walking through the Stations. Please begin by using the main basement stairs, wind through, and return to the sanctuary using the back stairway. Allow a few minutes for the person in front of you to have time to read each devotion and prayer before beginning. After you are done you may return to the sanctuary for communion and/or meditation, or you may leave.
- Communion: This is to be done individually or as couples. When Pastor Dan gets back to the sanctuary, you may come up to the table and sit on the bench. Pastor Dan will serve you communion by self-intinction – meaning you will be given a piece of bread and it is to be dipped in the cup of sparkling grape juice.
- Lighting A Candle of Love: Candles are on the back of the piano and may be lit off of the bigger “Christ” candle. This is a symbolic way of asking God to shine the light of Christ either on an area of your own life, or in the life of a loved one. To light a candle – take one of the sticks in the sand bucket, light it off of the Christ candle, light a tea-light candle, and place the stick back in the sand bucket. It is not necessary to blow the light out.
- Feel free to sit in the sanctuary and enjoy the music and Spirit’s presence for as long as you like. You may leave at any time.
