Maundy Thursday Passover Meal at Burbage Methodist.

During Holy Week, the week before Easter Sunday, Christians meet together to remember the events of the last week of Jesus’ life.  Burbage Methodists will host the Maundy Thursday evening event inviting others from Burbage to join them.

The event takes the form of a meal with readings and songs/hymns. The event begins at begins at 7pm and includes a meal (a hot chicken dish).  Donations welcome but there will be no charge.

Well, it is a way of remembering the events of the week before Jesus’ death. The Passover, or Seder meal, has a rich Jewish history (see Exodus 12 ) and is recorded in the Gospels (e.g. Matthew 26;17-19)
