Fervent

On this Maundy Thursday, twenty loving souls gathered in our intimate sanctuary to celebrate the Lord’s Supper.

Every gesture, every expression was a jewel in a crown of service.

“…when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague shall destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt…” (Exodus 12)

“…this cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me…” (I Corinthians 11)

“…then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet…” (John 13)

On this night, every member of the congregation had the opportunity both to be washed and to wash.

The word that filled my mind to describe this holy service is “fervent.”
