Worship with Mount Olivet on Maundy Thursday. at 7pm.

What is Maundy Thursday?

The word “Maundy” came from the Latin “mandatum” which means “to order” — or command. On Maundy Thursday, we remember Jesus’ command to love one another as Jesus has loved us (John 13:34). We also remember the Last Supper where Jesus instituted the sacrament of communion when he gave the disciples bread and wine as his body and blood. During Maundy Thursday worship, communion is celebrated, and then all the things on the altar are removed — symbolizing how Jesus was abandoned by his disciples and his clothes were stripped by soldiers before his crucifixion.
