Sung Eucharist of the Last Supper

for 1 hour
St Chad's Sunderland
Durham Rd/Charter Drive Sunderland, SR3 3PG, United Kingdom

in a mood of celebration, we give thanks for the Last Supper and for the institution of the Eucharist. The footwashing celebrates the way of Christ, our Servant-King. At the end of the Eucharist, the mood changes to solemnity. As Jesus went to Gethsemane, we process to the Lady Chapel, where the service continues into the Gethsemane Watch of prayer until midnight: stay as long as you want, or come back later for a time. The main church is unceremoniously stripped, and we are led forward into Good Friday. The sacrament reserved at the Watch will be received in the Good Friday Liturgy: the liturgies of these three days are one celebration of God's great action in Christ.
