Maundy Thursday, April 9, 2020
Gracious God, may we who have received this sacrament live in the unity of your Holy Spirit, that we may show forth your gifts to all the world. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
This week has been a difficult one for our congregation as we mourn the loss of Vern Johnson on Monday, April 6, and the passing of Mary Johnson today, April 8. Our hearts are heavy. Sixty-seven of us gathered together for an online prayer service through ZOOM at 7:30pm on Thursday, April 9 for our Maundy Thursday service.
Holy God, source and sovereign,
you put all power and authority into the hands of Christ—
Christ, who washes our feet in humble service.
Teach us to love one another as Christ has loved us,
so that everyone will know that we are his disciples;
through Jesus Christ our Lord we pray.
—John 13:1-17, 31b-35
