Welcome
Welcome! We are delighted that you are here with us this evening for our Maundy Thurday

The heart of our church is joining together in gratitude and praise. You are invited to join us
Sunday mornings at 9:00 & 10:30 am in our Sanctuary and online. On the first Sunday of each
month we share in Holy Communion, and whether or not you are a member of the church

based community with Holy Communion offered at weekly gatherings on Sunday nights at
6:00 pm in the Sanctuary.

Maundy Thursday
Maundy Thursday is an alternative name for Holy Thursday, the first of the three days of
solemn remembrance of the events leading up to and immediately following the crucifixion
of Jesus. The English word “Maundy” comes from the Latin mandatum, which means
“commandment.”
As recorded in John’s gospel, on his last night before his betrayal and arrest, Jesus washed
the feet of his disciples and then gave them a new commandment to love one another
as he had loved them (John 13:34). This is why services on this night generally include the
washing of feet or other acts of physical care as an integral part of the celebration.
While John’s gospel does not record the institution of the Lord’s Supper among the events
of this night, the other gospels do. This is why Christians have traditionally observed this
night both at the basin (footwashing) and at the Lord’s Table (Holy Communion).Order of Service

*Call to Worship Pastor Joanne
A call to worship is a call to presence.
We long to be fully present here, and to feel God’s presence here.
Notice the space around us, the way it looks, smells, and sounds.
With all our senses, we recognize a sacred space and our belonging in it.
We gather as good creation, wonderfully made.
We join our bodies into one body as we remember
the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
*Opening Hymn
As We Gather at Your Table
Words: Carl P. Daw, Jr., Music: IN BABILONE, arr. Julius Röntgen
3Confession and Assurance Pastor Joanne
Confession returns us to our bodies by reminding us
that God claims us, exactly as we are. Through repentance,
we name that which we have left undone and ask for the help
of God and our community to seek repair, restoration, and renewal.
Let us pray together our prayer of confession:
Loving God, you pour out grace upon us exactly as we are,
but we confess we are suspicious and react from fear of scarcity.
You invite us to take our shoes off
and receive the care our bodies need,
but we sit on our heels.
We sort bodies into worthy and unworthy ones
to mask our insecurities.
We reject and punish fat bodies,
disabled bodies,
transgender bodies,
and racialized bodies—
even when these bodies are our very own.
God, remind us that we are made in your image.
Help us learn to receive from your abundance
so we can share all that we have with others.
Let us see that the cups we longingly hold out
are already full.
May they overflow so that all will have enough!
As he does with Peter in the foot washing,
Jesus transforms our confusion and rejection
into joy and connection. With God’s help and mercy,
we can reciprocate abundance with one another
and with Creation.
In Jesus Christ we are loved and befriended by God.
Thanks be to God.

4Remembrance of Baptism Pastor Ann
All are invited to remember and reflect on the love of God,
embodied in our baptisms and in Jesus’ washing of his disciples’ feet.
In the Sanctuary, you are invited to come forward to have water poured over your hands. If
you are at home, we invite you to get a bowl of water and a towel. Wash them in the water,
make a sign of the cross on your forehead, and take a cloth to dry them.
