All are invited to draw near to God as we mark the pivotal events of Jesus' final earthly days — his entry into Jerusalem, the Last Supper with his disciples, his suffering and death on a Roman cross, and his glorious resurrection.

Palm Sunday • March 24

Communion Service | 7:30 p.m.
John 13:1–17, 34–35 | "By This All People Will Know"

The word "Maundy" is derived from the Latin word "mandatum" meaning "command" or "order" and relates to Jesus' commandment in John 13:34 — "...just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another."
