Maundy Thursday - Seder Meal, Prayer Chapel

The Seder Meal that our church did along with the Methodists and the Lutherans was a wonderful service and meal.

Approx. 90 people attended the ceremonial service and dinner. We had so many great volunteers who helped in so many ways and provided food as well..it was a great blessing! Here is a photo of the ceremonial plates and table settings from tonite.

After the Seder there was an overnight prayer vigil at the Altar of Repose in the Chapel at our church. I used a few of my assemblages in a prayer station before entering the Altar of Repose.

The altar of repose is always set up so beautifully. The flowers for the Easter services are used there. It smells heavenly, and it's a wonderful place for meditating, singing hymns, praying and just spending time with God.


We have people volunteer to take an hour to pray there from about 8:30 on Maundy Thursday, until Good Friday Morning before the Noon Service. My time was from 11:00 - 12:00 Midnight. So, now I'm home, have some photos posted and time for sleep after a loooong, but blessed day! Thank you Lord!
