Maundy Thursday, April 2, 2026 – 7:00 p.m.
Theme for the Evening: Love One Another As I Love You
Season Theme: Seven Simple, Powerful Words Of God’s Grace In Jesus Christ
Reading: John 13:1-17, 31b-35
On Maundy Thursday, we gather to remember the night Jesus shared the Last Supper with His disciples, washed their feet, and gave a new commandment: “Love one another as I have loved you.”
This sacred evening invites us to return to the Lord with all our heart. In humble service and steadfast grace, Christ shows us that we are first loved, first washed, first fed. From that love, we are called to love one another.
Service Highlights:
Scripture Reflection: John 13:1-17, 31b-35 – Jesus demonstrates servant love and calls us to do the same.
Holy Communion: We share in the meal Christ first gave to His disciples, receiving again the gift of His body and blood.
First Communion: We celebrate and pray God’s blessing on this year’s First Communion students as they come to The Lord’s Table in a new, complete, and blessed way.
Foot Washing: During the reading of the Gospel, Pastor Jamie will wash the feet of the First Communion students, reflecting the humble act of service Jesus shared on the night of the Last Supper.
Message: A reflection on how we are first loved by the One who calls us to love others.
Stripping of the Altar: The service concludes with the solemn stripping of the altar, preparing our hearts for Good Friday and the events of Christ’s passion.
In Person: Worship with us at Lord of Life Lutheran Church, Lakeville, MN.

As we journey through Holy Week, may we return to the One who loves us first, keeping our hearts on His grace, mercy, and call to love. We look forward to worshiping with you.
