REMINDER: Trinity East's Holy Week Observance

Greetings!

You are invited to join us tonight as we kick-off our "Holy Week" celebration, to observe Maundy Thursday, ("Holy Thursday").

To celebrate Maundy Thursday, "Touched by the Christ", a dramatic work with narratives and music will be presented during this evening's worship service. "Touched by the Christ" will be a collaborative effort of members of Trinity East, the Voices of Praise, the Children's Ministry, and members of other churches in our universal church community. This is definitely a production you don't want to miss!

So, please remember to invite your family and friends to join us at Trinity East to celebrate "Holy Week", this Thursday, Friday, and Sunday, as we fellowship and experience Resurrection Power!

We look forward to fellowshipping with you.

In Christ,

Pastor Bryan K. Dalco

What is Maundy Thursday?

Maundy Thursday is the Christian feast or holy day falling on the Thursday before Easter that commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with the Apostles. It is the fifth day of Holy Week, and is preceded by Holy Wednesday and followed by Good Friday.

On this day four events are commemorated: the washing of the Disciples' Feet by Jesus Christ, the institution of the Mystery of the Holy Eucharist at the Last Supper, the agony of Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane, and the betrayal of Christ by Judas Iscariot.

Maundy Thursday, also called Holy Thursday, is a service to commemorate Jesus' Last Supper and the beginning of our sacrament, the Lord's Supper. The word Maundy comes from the Latin mandatum, which means "commandment." At the Last Supper, Jesus gave the disciples a new commandment to love one another as he had loved them (John 13:34). Prior to breaking the bread with the disciples, Jesus washed their feet. Maundy Thursday worship services include Holy Communion and sometimes foot washing as well.
