Thursday, April 1st – Holy Thursday Worship 7 pm:  Our Place at the Table
On this night Jesus gathered with the disciples and friends to share what we call the Last Supper.  He later went to the garden and prayed, knowing what was ahead.  Experience Holy Thursday by expressing yourself through art, gardening, cleansing, sharing a meal, and music.  Create something that you can take home as a remembrance of this night.
