Maundy . . . Mandate . . . the night before Jesus died . . . Maundy Thursday is a powerful experience of that fate-filled night when Jesus washed the feet of his disciples, gave the Second Great Commandment to love as I have loved you, offered the First Eucharist and called his closest disciples to remain awake, to watch and to pray as he did in the Garden of Gethsedeme.
  
Our service will include foot-washing, the Stripping of the Altar and the Holy Watch.
