First Baptist Church of Henderson will hold a Maundy Thursday Vespers and Home Communion on Thursday, April 9, 2020, beginning at 7 p.m.

Maundy Thursday commemorates the events of the evening of Jesus’s life, including his institution of the Lord’s Supper before his betrayal and arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane. We normally gather as a church to worship and share communion, preparing our hearts for the remembrance of Good Friday and the pursuant wait for Easter Sunday.

This year we cannot gather in our Sanctuary, but those who can may gather virtually using Zoom.

During this service, we will read scriptures, offer prayers, meditate on music, and share communion with others in our homes.

Just as the disciples had to prepare for that last meal, we ask you to prepare. Prepare materially by making sure you have communion elements on hand, a bit of bread and a cup of juice for each participant. Prepare spiritually, praying beforehand that God’s presence will be real, uniting our hearts in mutual concern.

Please plan to log-in to the service 5-10 minutes early so that we may begin on time.
