Maundy Thursday Digital Service Together

We are providing a variety of At-Home Worship Resources for Holy Week.

On Maundy Thursday at 7pm, we are going to try a Special Digital Service Together via Zoom!

Details will be sent out via e-mail or Facebook Messenger. Mark yourself “going” or “interested” on our Facebook Event HERE or e-mail Fr. Daniel - daniel@stacathens.org - We are not providing a public link to help ensure the online integrity of the Zoom Meeting.

The Paschal mystery—the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ—is at the heart of the Christian Gospel. The somber evening of Maundy Thursday begins a single liturgy of several services which culminate with rejoicing on Easter Sunday.

The word "Maundy" comes from the Latin word for commandment which occurs in John 13:34 in the context of the Last Supper – "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another." At the Last Supper, Jesus washed his disciples’ feet and commanded them to love and serve one another as he had done. This day commemorates the Lord’s example of servant ministry, the institution of the Eucharist, the agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, and the betrayal leading to the crucifixion.

Worship through giving - help keep St. Thomas strong during this season. You can give online by clicking the “Online Giving” Button for secure giving by card or from your bank account. Make a one-time gift or setup a recurring gift. We have even set up a new method to give by text. Text “Give” to 844-696-6290 to get started. You can also mail a check to St. Thomas Anglican Church P.O. Box 49617 Athens, GA 30604.

We are Giving 10% of the total gifts received during Holy Week to our local partners The Food Bank of North East Georgia. They are doing great, front line work for those in need in our community.

We pray this online resource will be a blessing to you and your family in this challenging time in the world.

May the Lord bless you and keep you safe.

Holy Week will continue tomorrow with special resources for Good Friday and culminate on Easter Sunday. We will post At-Home Worship Resources for Good Friday and Easter Sunday here on our Services Page.
