The humble intimacy of Maundy Thursday

April 6, 2023 By Mary Lee Wile Leave a Comment

Looking back at the Grow Christians pandemic posts for Maundy Thursday about the creative ways families shared this night’s ritual, part of me wonders if our church services can ever approach the intimacy of the footwashing done by family members for one another.

Maundy Thursday’s Call to Love

April 1, 2021 By Allison Sandlin Liles Leave a Comment

Do you remember observing Maundy Thursday at home last year? It felt like a quaint, one-time experience to share with our households, then years later share as a story with future generations of the family. Except of course, it wasn’t a one-time experience. We’re here again a year later with another Maundy Thursday at home.

Maundy Thursday: Vulnerability

April 18, 2019 By Dorian Del Priore Leave a Comment

Maundy Thursday offers a bookend of touch to Ash Wednesday: a touch on the forehead with ashes juxtaposed with the touch of hands, soap, and water on feet. These are fleeting moments of tenderness, thin spaces of vulnerability, connection.
