We thought perhaps hardly anyone would come forward...but they did. And, since the congregation is older, their feet were those of the poem, old, gnarled, boney...I washed many of them, and then someone asked if she could wash, and so she did the rest. It was really wonderful.<BR/><BR/>Now, a prayer vigil is going on through out the night...with someone praying each hour until noon on Friday.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15667178624061122421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-1043356452870868382008-03-20T22:38:00.000-04:002008-03-20T22:38:00.000-04:00We had a lovely and moving Maundy Thursday service...We had a lovely and moving Maundy Thursday service. I was concerned because I'm not feeling well today--this winter seems to have left me with a perpetual cold and slighty nauseated tummy. Anyway, I felt fine, and the service was candlelit and intimate. Communion, but no foot washing, though I'd like to, one of these days.Dorcas (aka SingingOwl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15626748280614018533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-11189217973286732162008-03-20T20:28:00.000-04:002008-03-20T20:28:00.000-04:00No stripping of the altar for us, because no altar...No stripping of the altar for us, because no altar (although the terminology slips in once in a while). But yes, the Holy Week services are more holistic. We had a Taize service with communion by intinction, the choir director as cantor, no choir, no big organ, and a few people actually voiced their own intercessory prayers -- (Not Usually Done at our largish church). It was a good and moving service for Maundy Thursday.Auntie Knickershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08854138665883068803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-85233571130837863992008-03-20T15:09:00.000-04:002008-03-20T15:09:00.000-04:00My tradition, Church of the Brethren, wash feet tw...My tradition, Church of the Brethren, wash feet twice a year. Tonight we will kneel, women before women, men before men, (plus a few family tables) and in that posture of humility, I will take my sister's feet into my hands and lovingly splash each foot with water. I will carefully dry her feet with a towell from my waist. Then we will both stand and share a "holy kiss," passing the peace and love around the table. When all are finished, we will break bread and lift the cup and truly feel like the body of Christ once again.Rev Nancy Fitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06396344663987810043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-17983904615481833442008-03-20T14:36:00.000-04:002008-03-20T14:36:00.000-04:00I went to lauds at my parish this morning, usually...I went to lauds at my parish this morning, usually attended by 6 of us, the chapel was full. I stood, in my jeans, ready to teach lab today, to read, with the tabernacle a foot behind my back. No microphone, just my voice echoing off the back wall, dropping into a profound silence as we realized what we had embarked on...with only what we had to hand, and Christ at our backs.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12617476463347663364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-88032573488452956112008-03-20T13:49:00.000-04:002008-03-20T13:49:00.000-04:00Maundy Thurs sermon www.foraseason.blogspot.comMaundy Thurs sermon www.foraseason.blogspot.comMuthah+https://www.blogger.com/profile/10589837671378205837noreply@blogger.com
