Whether you have walked this path or this is your first Holy Week, there is a place for you at the table. Join us for a Maundy Thursday Community Dinner with service to follow. Please RSVP by calling 412-362-1712.
The Beauty of the Basin and the Bread
On this holy night, we gather to enter the Triduum—the three sacred days leading to Easter. Maundy Thursday marks the night Jesus shared his final meal with his disciples, gave us a new commandment, and knelt to perform the work of a servant.
The word "Maundy" comes from the Latin mandatum, meaning "commandment." It refers to the words of Jesus in John 13:34:
"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another."
Reflecting at Home
If you cannot join us in person, we invite you to read John 13:1–17, 31b–35. Consider how you might "wash the feet" of those in your own life this week through acts of quiet service and radical love.
