Beneath the Cross of Jesus — Gethsemane Service (Wed, April 17 at 7:00 pm)

Beneath the Cross of Jesus “Home”— Maundy Thursday (April 18 at 7:00 pm)
Our Lord eats the Passover one last time with his followers. He institutes a holy act in the Supper for forgiveness of sin and washing of feet for a servant’s heart. We will strip the altar as the darkness grows around the life of Jesus and his followers. First Communion will be celebrated & washing of feet (observance).

Beneath the cross of Jesus — Good Friday (April 19 at 7:00 pm — Slater United Methodist Church, 401 Story St., Slater, Iowa)
