Maundy Thursday Holy Communion

for 1 hour
St George Oakdale
Darbys Lane, Oakdale Poole, BH15 3EU, United Kingdom
Holy Communion and Stripping of the Altar
The day of the last supper, Christ’s betrayal, and arrest.
The evening service conveys both the solemnity of the day and the joyful celebration of the institution of Holy Communion. As the service ends the mood shifts as Jesus goes out from the upper room to be deserted, betrayed and arrested in the garden of Gethsemane. The service ends with the altar being stripped bare and the invitation to remain in silent prayer as we recall Jesus’ words to his disciples, ‘Could you not watch with me for one hour?’
