Maundy is an English translation of the Latin word, mandatum, which means command (mandate). On Maundy Thursday the Last Supper is celebrated and sometimes there is foot washing because that's what Jesus did for his disciples. We are reminded of Jesus' command to love one another as he has loved us.

We combine the Tenebrae service or "Service of the Shadows" with our Maundy Thursday worship. As the story of Thursday evening and Good Friday is read, candles are extinguished and we leave the dark sanctuary in silence.
In silence, we wait...
