Living Last Supper (Holy Thursday Service)
On Thursday, April 1 at 7:00 p.m., we will celebrate Holy Thursday, called Maundy Thursday by some, by receiving Holy Communion.

This Renaissance masterpiece is brought to life in Ruth Elaine Schram's remarkable work, "The Living Last Supper." One by one you will hear the disciples speak, expressing their innermost thoughts that portray their incredible astonishment at Jesus' assertion that one of them would betray Him that fateful night. The evening will reawaken a spiritual reconnection with the true significance of The Last Supper. This will be presented by the Chancel Choir and Drama team. See you on Holy Thursday, April 1, at 7:00 p.m. For additional information, please contact the church office at  269-3678 or email oumc@atlanticbb.net.
