Maundy Thursday
April 2 at 6:00 in the fellowship hall

Maundy Thursday is the Thursday before Easter, when Jesus celebrated his final Passover with His disciples and washed the feet of His disciples. He then commanded them to do the same for each other.
"Maundy" being a shortened form of mandatum (Latin), which means "command."What Does Maundy Mean? It means to follow Christs command.
That was when He said to them. John 13:3434 So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.
The symbolism of Ash Wednesday
-
The ashes symbolize our sins, so we put them on ourselves
-
​The bread and the wine symbolize Christ dying for our sins
-
The washing off of the ashes symbolizes baptism and the washing away of our sins
