Holy Week at Derry Church
February 28, 2024Worship on Maundy Thursday, March 28
7 PM IN THE SANCTUARY WITH COMMUNION AND LIVE STREAMING, LED BY PASTOR STEPHEN AND SHAWN GRAY
This year’s Maundy Thursday service, “Seven Actions,” is an alternative to a traditional Tenebrae liturgy. The liturgy focuses on the account of the Last Supper in John 13. Seven candles are lit during the service in response to seven actions, which are noted during the narrative. The lit candles offer a reminder of the presence of light even in the darkness of the eve of Good Friday.
