The Great Prayer, the Bread (Body) and the Cup (Blood) of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Prayer of Thanksgiving | “We Remember Calvary - A Contemporary Tenebrae Service” | Pastor Bill Johnson |
Gracious and loving God, thank you for the example you set by washing other’s feet and showing us that there is no contradiction between servanthood and leadership because leadership is service. We praise you for this evening when Jesus washed his disciples feet and shared this Passover meal with them and with us. As we gather now to remember our Lord’s sacrifice for us, forgive us when we fail to serve those around us. Have mercy upon us and restore in us the desire and willingness to serve others in Jesus’ name. May this time of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Black Saturday and Jesus’ Resurrection on Easter raise us to new life and hope because of your great love. Thank you, Lord God Almighty, for your loving mercy and grace through Jesus and by the power of your Holy Spirit as we pray in your name and for the sake of this world. Amen |

Dismissal to your cars in Absolute Silence, please, leaving an offering to God’s glory at the doors if you wish. | *John 13: 1-20 | Pastor Bill Johnson |
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen |
