Agape Supper for the White Horse Team in the evening of Maundy Thursday
In the evening, we shall be organising a light informal supper as part of our remembering the events of the Last Supper Jesus took part in with his disciples, when he washed their feet and where he commanded them to remember him.
We shall be organising soup, bread, cheese and desert and sharing this time together with readings and prayer. This is an event for our whole White Horse Team churches and everyone is invited to attend.
If you would like to come, please sign a list in your church and let us know, as we shall need to know numbers for catering. You can also contact [email protected] to book your place, or if you can help with the catering.
All welcome. We look forward to sharing in this special evening together.
