Join Us Thursday and Friday
We hope you can join us on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday at 7pm as we prepare our hearts for Resurrection Sunday. Both services are in-person; Good Friday is also live-streamed. Each service will include singing, Scripture reading, and a short message.
The word Maundy comes from the Latin word, mandatum, which means "mandate." It comes from the passage of Scripture in John 13:34 when Jesus says, "A new commandment [mandatum] I give to you: Love one another." Just as the disciples had gathered that evening to celebrate the Passover Meal, so we shall come to the Lord's Table together on Thursday evening.
Why is Good Friday called good? Oddly, the word good used to mean holy! Good Friday is called good, or Holy Friday, because of what is accomplished on the cross. You and I have relationship with God! Our sins are forgiven! We are made holy in God's sight.
