Agape Meal

About the Event

On the day before he was arrested, Jesus gathered with his friends for a meal, the washing of feet, and the proclamation of a new commandment to love one another. Remembering that night, we will gather to break bread, to pray, and to be washed clean during an Agape Meal. Agape (ah-GAHP-ay) is the Greek word for the highest form of love; this service is sometimes known as a love-feast. This custom originated in the early church and will be a time of holy fellowship for us as it was for the first Christians. All are welcome, and footwashing is not mandatory–so even if you’re not sure about that ritual, join us as we gather at the table to draw close to one another and to Jesus. This offering is for everyone and it is also suitable for families with children.
