Footwashing, Reservation of the Sacrament, & Stripping of the Altar

Gathering at dusk, we will recall Jesus’ Last Supper with the disciples, when he washed their feet and commissioned them to continue gathering for the community meal “in remembrance of him.” Abiding Jesus’ mandatum – his “new commandment” that we love one another – we will wash one another’s feet, before celebrating the Eucharist for the final time until the Easter Vigil. We will “reserve” on the Baptistry altar all the consecrated bread remaining, and we will remove much of the adornment from the sanctuary and apse. This powerful evening of worship will conclude with our scattering in the dark from the emptied high altar. 

This service will be livestreamed to /live-worship.
