Maundy Thursday

A Meal to Remember
On Maundy Thursday we shall meet in the Bridge to ponder the significance and meaning of the meal which is at the heart of the Christian faith – The Lord’s Supper.
We shall study some Bible passages together, and sing and pray in response to God’s word. (This will not itself be a service of Holy Communion, but I hope it will help us to find deeper riches in that service).
We plan to have simple refreshments (tea/coffee and cake/biscuits) together at the start of this gathering. So if possible, please could you bring cake or special biscuits for the occasion?
