The Maundy Thursday service is one of endings and beginnings. What began on Ash Wednesday is brought to a close here today What begins today does not end until the resurrection of Easter. Congregation members were invited to insert nails into the cross during Maundy Thursday services. At the end of the service, everyone departs in the darkness without benediction.
During Easter services, Congregation members were invited to place flowers in the cross to replace the nails from Maundy Thursday. The flower covered cross was then placed outside in front of the church after services while the children hunted Easter Eggs. A very moving few days for the entire congregation.
