Holy Week
Maundy Thursday Service
Thursday, April 6 • 7:00 p.m. • Ames Chapel
The word “Maundy” comes from the Latin word mandatum or commandment, which Jesus gave his disciples, "A new commandment I give unto you: That you love one another, as I have loved you.” This is a contemplative service which remembers Jesus on the last night of his earthly life by rituals of washing of feet and sharing communion. All are welcome.

Good Friday Service
Friday, April 7 • 7:00 p.m. • Ames Chapel
A service of Tenebrae, or “shadows/darkness,” is based on a twelfth-century liturgy of solemn observance and extended meditation on the passion of Christ. With candles extinguished after each reading and silent reflection, the increasing darkness on the evening of Good Friday invites worshipers to enter into the dramatic narrative of Jesus’ betrayal, arrest, and crucifixion, and to reflect on God’s steadfast love. The service concludes in darkness with worshipers leaving in silence, reflecting on Christ’s death, and awaiting the coming resurrection.
