Holy Week at First Church of God
 
Maundy Thursday, April 17, 6:30pm
We will commemorate Jesus' last supper with His disciples through a simple Seder meal (NOT a full meal, just samples), held in the Fellowship Hall. We will use a simplified version of the Haggadah - the Jewish text that sets forth the order of the Passover Seder.  The ceremony incorporates scripture and Communion. We will end with foot washing. Children welcomed.
