Members of the group share opening prayer together before reflecting on the reading, and leadership is shared among those attending.
New participants are always welcome.
We begin this service with a grand procession, waving palms and singing as we remember Jesus triumphal entry into Jerusalem. We hear the beginning of the passion story as our gospel, with parts read by different people. The service concludes with the story of Jesus crucifixion, foreshadowing the final days of Jesus life. The Gospel of John records that on his last night with his disciples, Jesus took on the role of servant as he washed their feet before their evening meal. As we share in this ritual of washing each other s feet, we, too, are reminded of how we are called to be a servant to all in God s name.
