The candles and paraments are removed. The table is bare. The cross sits shrouded. This is how we left our sanctuary at the end of our Maundy Thursday service last night. After we shared in the holy supper around our table, we “stripped” our sanctuary of the elements of our worship. You might wonder, where does this practice come from?
While our Holy Week this year is taking on a different shape, we hope you’ll find plenty of ways to keep connected with the unfolding story of Jesus. Services will be available on our YouTube Channel at the times listed.
“What are God’s dreams for the world?” This is a question that we posed to the 7th and 8th grade Confirmation students recently. The Confirmation students are studying the Biblical Narrative this year and spent the day at church on Good Friday. They assisted with the Good Friday Family Service, served as the clean-up crew for the grilled cheese lunch, and they got their hands dirty as they created a model of the empty tomb for Easter Sunday worship.
