SUMMARY:Holy Thursday Family Worship
DESCRIPTION:Holy Thursday Family Worship\nThursday\, April 2 | 5:00 PM \nBring the whole family for a special Holy Thursday experience designed to help children and adults discover the meaning of this sacred night together. This evening blends community\, learning\, and worship in a way that is engaging\, meaningful\, and welcoming for all ages. \nHoly Thursday marks the night of the Last Supper\, when Jesus shared a final meal with his disciples and gave the church the gift of communion. During this service\, families will have the opportunity to explore the story and significance of communion in a way that is interactive and accessible for everyone. \nEvening Schedule\n5:00 – 6:00 PM | Community Dinner\nWe’ll begin the evening with a shared dinner in the Fellowship Hall. This relaxed time allows families to connect\, meet others in the Floris community\, and prepare for the worship experience together. \n6:00 PM | Family Communion Service\nAfter dinner\, we’ll gather for a brief but meaningful communion service designed especially for families. Through simple teaching and reflection\, both children and adults will learn about the meaning of communion and why it continues to be an important part of the Christian faith. \nChildren will also have a special role in the service. Rather than simply observing\, kids will serve as communion helpers\, making this a hands-on and memorable experience that helps them better understand this sacred tradition. \nA Meaningful Holy Week Experience for Families\nThis service is designed to be engaging for children while meaningful for adults\, creating a shared experience for the whole family as we begin the journey through Holy Week together. Whether your family has celebrated Holy Thursday for years or this is your first time attending\, we invite you to join us for this special evening. \nRegister to Attend\nTo help us plan for dinner\, please register in advance. \nRegister Now > \nWe hope you and your family will join us for this meaningful night of connection\, reflection\, and worship as we prepare our hearts for Easter.

SUMMARY:Holy Thursday
DESCRIPTION:Holy Thursday Worship Service\nA Sacred Evening of Reflection and Communion\nHoly Thursday is a meaningful and sacred moment in the Christian calendar. On this evening\, we remember Jesus’ final meal with His disciples\, often called the Last Supper. It is a time for the church to gather in worship\, reflection\, and gratitude as we recall the love\, humility\, and service that Jesus demonstrated in His final hours before the cross. \n\nRemember the Last Supper\nHoly Thursday invites us to pause and reflect on one of the most powerful moments in the story of Holy Week. During this service\, we remember the night Jesus gathered with His disciples\, shared a meal with them\, and gave them a lasting example of love and humble service. \nThrough scripture\, prayer\, and reflection\, we will revisit the story of the Last Supper and consider what it means for our lives today. This sacred time helps prepare our hearts as we continue the journey toward Good Friday and the hope of Easter. \n\nShare in Communion\nA central part of this service is the opportunity to share in Holy Communion together as a church community. As we receive the bread and cup\, we remember Christ’s sacrifice and the promise of grace that is extended to all. \nCommunion offers a moment to slow down\, reflect\, and reconnect with God’s love in a meaningful and personal way. \n\nWorship Through Music\nMusic during the service will be led by our modern worship band\, creating an atmosphere of heartfelt praise and reflection. Through worship songs and moments of prayer\, we will come together as a community to honor Christ and prepare our hearts for the days ahead in Holy Week. \n\nJourney Through Holy Week Together\nHoly Thursday marks an important step in the journey of Holy Week. It is a time to gather as a church family\, remember Christ’s example of humility and service\, and walk together through the story of faith that leads to the cross and ultimately to the joy of Easter. \n\nJoin Us\nAll are invited to attend this special evening of worship\, communion\, and reflection. Whether you are a longtime member or visiting for the first time\, you are welcome to join us as we remember the love of Christ and continue the journey through Holy Week together.
