Maundy Thursday

Thursday, we read of Jesus’ last supper with his friends. We remember how he promised to be present in our meals together, to be revealed as we break bread. We see how the love at the center of the universe is about kneeling to serve each other.
Communion elements are offered for pickup outside of our Metropolitan Memorial and Wesley sanctuaries from 6:00 to 6:30pm.
