We’ll have dinner on the church paddock so make sure to wrap up warm. Most dietary needs will be covered but get in touch if you have concerns.
(We’ll eat in the Front Hall if the weather takes a turn)
Like Jesus with His disciples on the night before He died, on Maundy Thursday we share in a meal together on our church paddock, take communion, and wash each other’s feet.
This rhythm year on year has been for us a beautiful expression of the communion, love, and humility that took place on the evening Jesus had a final meal with His friends.
We’d love for you to join us.
