Where does the word "Maundy" come from, and what does it mean?
Maundy comes from the old French "mande" from Latin "mandatum" as in "mandate." And the mandate was Jesus telling his disciples after washing their feet: "I give you a new commandment (or mandate) that you should love one another" (John 13:34).
Maundy Thursday at St. Andrew's will be commemorated tonight in Calvin Hall at 6:30-7:30 p.m., with a simple meal of beans and rice that flows into Holy Communion.
Maundy Thursday blessings!
Pastor Brett & Pastor Jeremy
