Come celebrate communion and a tenebrae service on Maundy Thursday, March 20, at 7:00 P.M. in the sanctuary. Tenebrae (Latin for shadows) is a religious service celebrated by high church elements of Western Christianity, including the Roman Catholic Church, The Episcopal Church, Anglican Churches, Lutheran Churches, United Methodist Church, Presbyterian Church (USA), and United Church of Christ.
The Maundy Thursday Tenebrae Service will include a celebration of the Lord's Supper and the stripping of the altar. The stripping of the altar involves the removal of any decorative elements, such as any cloths on the altar, candles, or removable devotional objects. The stark appearance of the church mirrors the silence maintained at the end of Tenebrae. Come experience this powerful service this Thursday, March 20, at 7:00 P.M. in the sanctuary.
