Maundy Thursday Foot Washing, Liturgy and Watch

Maundy Thursday Foot Washing, Liturgy and Watch

Join us for this moving liturgy, which includes the symbolic memorial of Jesus washing his followers’ feet on the night before he died.

Our service concludes in darkness, silent prayer and the opportunity to sit quietly in keeping vigil with Christ awhile.

The word Maundy comes from a middle English word meaning command, and we use that word today to remind us that Jesus commanded that we should love, serve and care for one another.

Parish Passover Festive Meal for All Ages

Inviting children and young people, parents and parishioners. No cost.

In the evening, before he was betrayed, Jesus shared the Passover meal with his friends and this was the beginning of our Christian Holy Communion.

Celebrate through a Passover meal with readings and explanation of symbolism, through sensory combinations of sound, smell, and tastes, involved in following the age-old rituals of the Jewish people.

Our Thursday evening will begin in the hall at 5:15 for our meal continuing over to Church for Maundy Thursday service with the washing of the feet and clearing of the church.

Lynne Cain must have definite numbers please by 24 March - as we want to supply the exact amount of food. Lynne: 0437 465 623

Tolling the bells for Earth Overshoot Day

Tolling the bells for Earth Overshoot Day

Earth Overshoot Day is the day when our demands for ecological resources (including fish, forests, fresh water, etc) exceed what the Earth can renew in a year. In Australia this year it will fall on Wednesday 23 March 2022.

At St James' Anglican church, we will mark this day with a brief observance and the tolling of our bells to lament our unreasonable demands on the Earth, our common home.

Please join us in the courtyard at 12 noon.

See Earth Overshoot Day explained in this brief video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaQBYLQQs2Q
