1-3:30pm | Outdoor Maundy Thursday Service, with Community Foot Washing - Alongside our Chapel on the Green program, we commemorate the day Jesus washed his disciples’ feet by washing the feet of the most vulnerable people in our community: those who struggle with hunger, homelessness, and isolation. Our event starts in the afternoon with an outdoor worship service, and continues with a foot clinic & health fair organized with Cornell Scott Hill Health Center. There are many ways to help, including volunteering to wash other’s feet (we provide guidance and supplies). Join us! Contact cotg@trinitynewhaven.org for more information.
