Maundy Thursday Offers Chance for Reflection, Fellowship

We are still in the church’s Easter season and are excited to share some photos from Maundy Thursday Dinner and Communion. Thank you to all who gathered for fellowship and worship in anticipation of the Resurrection. It was a beautiful and meaningful night. A big thank you to our Hospitality Committee for their hard work on this event!
