MAUNDY THURSDAY
March 28, 6 PM
Maundy Thursday commemorates the Last Supper, which Christians consider the Lord’s supper or communion. It is described in the Gospel of Luke, chapter 22. At the Last Supper with his disciples, Jesus breaks bread, saying, “This is my body,” and pours wine, saying, “This is my blood.” He then asks the disciples to “Do this in remembrance of me.”
We invite you to a community dinner, hosted by the church, and a moving performance of the last supper.
One of Christianity’s most significant events was brilliantly portrayed by Leonardo Da Vinci: The Last Supper. This Renaissance masterpiece is brought to life in Ruth Elaine Schram’s remarkable work The Living Last Supper. The music passionately captures the pathos of the event while the disciples speak, expressing their innermost thoughts with brief but poignant monologues.
