Maundy Thursday Holy Communion with Feet Washing

for 4 hours, 15 mins
Welcome to St Philip's Church, Osmondthorpe, East Leeds
Osmondthorpe Lane Osmondthorpe Leeds, LS9 9EF, United Kingdom
SERVICE OF HOLY COMMUNION WITH FEET WASHING, FOLLOWED BY THE WATCH
Maundy Thursday or Holy Thursday is the day during Holy Week that commemorates the Washing of the Feet and Last Supper of Jesus Christ with the Disciples. The word maundy comes from the Old French mande, in turn from the Latin mandatum, which means “command.” This is taken from Jesus' words to his Disciples the night before he dies, "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another" (John 13:34).

THE WATCH...until Midnight
Immediately after the Communion Service ends we will move into a time of silence. A bell will be signalled and those who wish can move into the chapel for a prayer vigil, which is what the disciples did when Jesus asked them to stay awake and pray with him in the Garden of Gethsemane. Every half hour we will ring a bell and a reading will be offered. This will last until midnight. You can come for as much or as little as you would like...

Welcome to St Philip's Church, Osmondthorpe, East Leeds

Welcome to St Philip's!

We'd love you to join our church!

Why not come along in 2024 to find God, find friends, and find yourself!

God is doing a new thing in east Leeds. After receiving a new vicar, Rolf, and a small planting team from St Matts, Burley in May 2022, we continue to seek a fresh vision for the church. In January 2023 we became a separate parish of our own. We have seen exciting growth: our worshipping community is growing, our journey of discipleship is deepening, and our service to the local community expands. During 2023 we set up a Toddler Group, a community cafe, and are happy to host a Foodbank.

Into 204 we're excited to see what God is doing: we want to seek Jesus in worship and service.

As a community of Christians, we are committed to three priorities: worship - making Sundays unmissable with Jesus at the centre, refreshing our rhythms of anglican worship; evangelism - seeking to offer a confident invitation to church and to following Jesus, while increasing our profile and service across the community; and children and young people - serving those in our church, in our schools, and in our community. 

During 2024 you are invited to come and see what God is doing in LS9!
