Great Prayer of Thanksgiving
The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
Lift up your hearts.
We lift them up to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right to give God thanks and praise.

 (Prayers of thanksgiving for the Father's creation are offered.  The congregation is invited to join in the ancient hymn…)

…we join with the whole creation to lift our hearts in joyful praise.
Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of power and might, Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.  Hosanna in the highest.

 (Prayers continue, thanking Jesus for His work among us and the meal that is before us)

…and we proclaim the mystery of faith:
Christ has died.
Christ has risen.
Christ will come again.








(The prayer concludes, asking the Holy Spirit to continue to work among us all.  The congregation then joins together to offer up The Lord's Prayer.)

Our Father, who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, and thy Word be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,
For Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory,
Forever and ever.  Amen.

Introduction to the Foot-washing

Hymn – #229  Jesu, Jesu

Chorus:

Jesu, Jesu,  fill us with your love, show us how to serve

The neighbours we have from you.

Kneels at the feet of His friends, silently washes their feet,

Master who acts as a slave to them.

Chorus

Neighbours are rich and poor, varied in colour and race;

Neighbours are near and far away.

Chorus

These are the ones we should serve;

These are the ones we should love;

All are neighbours to us and you.

Chorus

Kneel at the feet of our friends, silently washing their feet;

This is the way we should live with you.

Chorus*

Sharing the Elements (communion by intinction)

Hymn - #225 A New Commandment

A new commandment I give unto you,

That you love one another, as I have loved you (repeat)

By this shall all know you are my disciples,

That you have love one for another

(repeat)

Benediction

Why Maundy Thursday?

The Latin word mandatum has evolved into “mandate” or “command”, and its evolution into Maundy Thursday is rooted in Jesus’ command that that disciples love one another as Jesus loved them.  Footwashing is an element that is rooted in John 13, where Jesus washed the feet of His disciples to show them the level of service He expected of them.  Being friends with the Lord and Saviour of the world didn’t mean becoming high and exalted, but rather being willing to stoop and serve in the place of the lowest of slaves. 

Communion is also an important part of Maundy Thursday.  Jesus ate the Passover meal with His disciples on that last night of His earthly life, but then changed and repurposed the symbols of freedom and liberation.  The unleavened bread of haste became the gift of His body, which would be given for them.  The cup of wine, He shared with them as a symbol of the new covenant that God was making with all people.

Good Friday’s cross takes place in the aftermath of Maundy Thursday’s meal, and the empty tomb of Easter outshines them all.  O taste and see that the Lord is good…
