This Holy Week, Community of Christchurch is gathering together with other churches in our area for an online Maundy Thursday Worship Service at 7pm. Hosted by Old Scotch Church, this service will be in the style of a Tenebrae worship (Tenebrae is Latin for darkness.)
This online worship will also include Holy Communion, so you are once again invited to have elements ready with you to partake at home. If bread is not available to you, a cracker or chip will suffice. Likewise, juice or water can be substituted for the wine.
We hope ChristChurch members will avail themselves of this opportunity to gather around the table with our ecumenical siblings and remember the sacrificial love of God in Jesus Christ. To join, simply click on this link: https://cu-portland.zoom.us/j/566086030
