Maundy Thursday Eucharist and Tenebrae

for 1 hour, 15 mins
St Peter & St Paul, Seal
Church Street Seal Sevenoaks, TN15 0AT, United Kingdom
On Maundy Thursday we remember Jesus' Last Supper with a simple service of Holy Communion. At the end of the service we hear a series of "Tenebrae" readings in the darkened church, as the candles on the altar are gradually blown out as we think about Jesus praying in the night in the Garden of Gethsemane. ("Tenebrae" means Shadows.)

St Peter & St Paul, Seal

WELCOME

St Peter and St Paul is the Church of England parish church for Seal, near Sevenoaks. Whoever you are, you'll find a warm welcome at our services and activities. We believe that everyone is loved by God and is part of his family. Whatever your background, age, ability, disability, gender or sexuality, whatever your level of faith or doubt, whatever the story of your life, we'll be glad to see you.

Our ancient church is normally open during the day - many people use it - and the peaceful churchyard has beautiful views over the North Downs. It's a great place to be, and a great place to be yourself.

We gather for worship in church at 10 am ( Holy Communion, except for 2nd Sunday when we have non eucharistic All Age worship) and 6.30pm (BCP said Evensong, except for 2nd Sunday when we hold a "Breathing Space" Contemplative Communion) .
