Maundy Thursday
April 2

6:00 - 8:00 pm

The evening begins with an Agape Meal, followed by Holy Eucharist with foot washing, and Stripping of the Altar. Nursery will be available.

This service is specifically designed for families to experience the story together. We gather around a quiet table. We share a simple meal. There is something hopeful — and something uncertain — in the air as we hear Jesus say, “Love one another like this…”  Through the tender act of foot washing, children experience a powerful story of service and compassion.

Based on Healing the Heart of Democracy by Parker J. Palmer. 
The program will include video interviews with the author.

This community dialogue welcomes people of diverse backgrounds, beliefs, and generations. We will engage conversations about politics in ways that serve the common good. In particular, we’ll explore 5 Habits of the Heart that we can practice in everyday settings in our families, neighborhoods, classrooms, congregations, and workplaces.

5 Habits of the Heart that make democracy possible:

• An understanding that we are all in this together

• An appreciation of the value of “otherness”

• An ability to hold tension in life-giving ways

• A sense of personal voice and agency

• A capacity to create community

Rick Jackson, with Parker Palmer and his wife Marcy, is a Co-Founder and Senior Fellow of the Center for Courage & Renewal. He teaches, speaks, and consults with leaders, non-profit, and philanthropic organizations on a range of topics, including strategies to foster long-term civic renewal.

The Gallery is open M - F, 9 a.m. - 1 p.m., Sundays until noon, and by appointment: gallery@gracehere.org. Bring a friend or out-of-town guest to see Grace and this beautiful gallery offering.

Two members of Grace, Marty Steyer and John McKenzie, partnered with artist Marilyn Bergstrom to create a video of an art and poetry exhibit featuring residents of Murano Senior Living in Seattle. The exhibit features art by 10 residents, each interpreted with a poem written by Marty. In the video, John captures the visual and sonic qualities of the paintings and the poetry. The exhibit is on display at Murano Senior Living through April 30.
