Maundy Thursday Potluck Dinner and Worship Service

  • First Presbyterian Church 701 Beach Drive NE St Petersburg United States (map)

MAUNDY THURSDAY - March 28

Please join us at 5:30 PM in the Fellowship Hall for a Covered Dish Dinner with Communion around tables in the Fellowship Hall. IT HELPS US IF YOU RSVP by calling the Church Office. Plan to bring a dish to share for the meal.

Maundy Thursday commemorates the day Jesus gathered with his disciples in the Upper Room, washed their feet and shared bread and cup with them at the table. That Last Supper became the Sacrament of Communion. From the table, Jesus went out to the Garden of Gesthemane, where he was betrayed by Judas Iscariot and arrested.

“Maundy” comes from the Latin word mandatum, for commandment:

“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.” John 13:34 (NRSV)
