“Christianity is not about individuals making private decisions; it is about a people learning to live together as disciples.”
— Stanley Hauerwas

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses.”
– Hebrews 12:1

– Hebrews 12:1-2

MAUNDY THURSDAY SERVICE

7pm | The Sanctuary
We remember the night Jesus shared a final meal with his disciples and gave the command to love as he loves. Join us as we share communion and experience Tenebrae—a “service of shadows” where the extinguishing of light draws us into the weight and wonder of the cross.
