Thursday, April 1 at 8:00 p.m.

On the first Maundy Thursday, the night before Jesus was handed over to death, he went with his disciples to the Garden of Gethsemane. Going off to pray by himself, he instructed his disciples to “keep watch and pray.”

This Maundy Thursday, we will follow Jesus’ instructions to those first disciples as we gather outdoors to “keep watch and pray” together. Through scripture, prayers and song, we will be present with Jesus, remembering his time of prayer in the garden and his handing over to death.

This outdoor service will immediately follow our livestream Maundy Thursday service at 7:00 p.m. It is meant to either be part 2 of your Maundy Thursday worship experience or to be a stand alone worship experience - your choice.

Bring a lawn chair and wear a mask. We will ask everyone to keep safe social distance and stay home if you are sick or have possible COVID-19 exposure.
