On Thursday, April 5th, Richmond Beach Congregational Church will be celebrating Maundy Thursday, or the last supper, with a unique art piece. It’s called Jesus’ Table of Welcome and the artist is Kris Garratt of University Congregational Church, UCC. 

The table has pictures of food and communion hymns on the top of it. Around the table are 13 chairs, one of which is Jesus’ chair. The other twelve chairs are intended to represent segments of society that have been considered outcast. During the service, we will hear from each of these outcasts and welcome them and everyone else to the table. 

The community is invited to join us in this service. All are truly welcome!

Other opportunities for worship this coming weekend include a meditation time on Good Friday, April 6th from 12-3 in our sanctuary; the Easter sunrise service at the Saltwater Park at 6AM; and worship service with wonderful music at 10am at the church. Between the services on Sunday, the youth group will be serving a pancake breakfast.

No matter who you are, no matter where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome to join us!
