SUMMARY:Easter Story Walk
DESCRIPTION:Easter Story Walk (Sunrise to Sunset – Cathedral Gardens) \nCome and enjoy the Easter story\, as told in the Gospels\, in the beautiful setting of our Cathedral grounds. The walk begins at the Welcome sign just before the entrance of the Cathedral. The story begins with the Last Supper the Lord had with His disciples\, and ends at the Alpha/Omega garden\, with the Lord’s ascension into heaven. For those with younger children\, there will be an activity booklet at the Welcome sign at the beginning of the walk. As you walk the grounds with your children\, you can read the modified text while your child collects a sticker at each sign to add to the booklet. Note: While the signs will be up from Thursday\, April 2nd through Monday\, April 6th\, the activity book and stickers will ONLY be available on Friday\, Saturday\, and Sunday. \nChoose a time when you can do the walk at a leisurely pace. Allow yourself time for prayer\, meditation\, and listening to the Lord as you take in this powerful and emotional story. \n

SUMMARY:Informal Maundy Thursday Holy Supper (AAH)
DESCRIPTION:April 2\, 7:00 pm – Asplundh Assembly Hall\nInformal Family Holy Supper Service\nRev. Nathan Gladish \nEveryone is welcome to participate in a special worship service often referred to as Maundy Thursday\, which will include the Holy Supper. For a little background on the term\, see the *footnote at the bottom.\nThe service will be held in the lobby of Asplundh Assembly Hall (not the big room)\, to help provide a comfortable setting. The activity is planned for 7:00-7:30 pm with live music by Lori Odhner starting at about 6:50 pm. Come early to get settled\, and you are welcome to linger afterwards to sing or socialize. Children are welcome.  \nThe first part of the service will focus on sharing food for our bodies as well as food for thought. Some items will be provided – crackers\, grapes\, cheese\, juice\, and water. Feel free to bring other food to share. Quotations from the Word on individual cards will also be available as food for thought – for reflection and for conversation. Alternatively\, feel free to bring a special quotation of your choice to share. \nThe second part of the service will focus on the sacrament of the Holy Supper. Both unleavened wheat bread and gluten-free bread will be available as well as wine\, grape juice\, and water. The service will close with prayer and a blessing. \nAlthough Christians have often included a tradition of foot washing in Maundy Thursday services\, we will not include it this year. \nThis event will not be livestreamed or recorded because of it being held in the lobby. For livestream options\, visit www.brynathynchurch.org.easter on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. \n*From the Wikipedia article about Maundy Thursday:\nThe English word maundy in the name for the day is derived through Middle English and Old French mandé\, from the Latin mandatum (also the origin of the English word “mandate”). It is the first word of the Latin phrase “Mandatum novum do vobis ut diligatis invicem sicut dilexi vos\,” translated as “A new commandment I give to you: That you love one another\, as I have loved you.”
