Maundy Thursday 2026: Ancient Words

About this episode

The episode discusses the Maundy Thursday service, focusing on the words of institution from 1 Corinthians and their significance in understanding Holy Communion.

Our Maundy Thursday service will be a traditional service of worship, featuring music from our choir, the Holy Week version of the Great Thanksgiving with sung responses, and will conclude with the traditional stripping of the altar and departing in silence. The message will focus on the words of institution from 1 Corinthians, which are said at every communion service. We will talk about the last supper and how it shapes our understanding of Holy Communion today. Based on 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
