Maundy Thursday & Good Friday at Stowe Community Church

Past event
Apr 1, 7 PM to 12 AM, Apr 2, 2021

On Thursday, April 1, Stowe Community Church will share our Maundy Thursday Service at 7:00 pm. This service, officially called "The Vigil of Maundy Thursday with The Office of Tenebrae and Holy Communion," features readings from each of the gospels, interlaced with familiar hymns and prayers. Candles are lit and then extinguished as the readings progress, ending with the church in darkness, and the ringing of the bell 33 times - once for each year of Jesus' life. Communion will be adapted to this time of distance and separation. Our own Interim Pastor, Rev, Peter Hammond will lead this service. Janet Godin and Bob Marshall will sing anthems and lead the hymns. Please have communion elements ready at home to join with us.

Friday, April 2, is Good Friday, and we are pleased to welcome back Rev. Rick Swanson from Stowe's St. John's in the Mountains Episcopal Church to co-officiate this service with Rev. Hammond. Live-streamed at noon, the service will highlight the last words of Christ, with reflections, prayers and responses. There will also be hymns and an anthem suitable for this day, led by Greg Morrill.
