April 17th
Holy Communion 8.00pm at Nether Winchendon
This day commemorates
two of the most significant actions of Jesus. It is the night on which Jesus
had a last supper with his friends and commanded us to remember him each time
we share bread and wine. Here the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus
are made present. Here heaven and earth, the divine and the human are brought
together. At the end of the service, the frontal of the altar all the
adornments of the sanctuary are removed, symbolising Christ’s separation from
God as he enters his passion and takes to himself the sin of mankind.
