Join us in Church on Shrove Tuesday (Pancake day). The tradition of pancakes arose out of the need to use up food which would not be allowed during Lent, which starts the next day.

“Maundy” comes from the Latin for “commandment” (like “mandate”). At the Last Supper (on the night before his crucifixion on Good Friday) Jesus told his followers to love each other, and seek to serve rather than to rule. He demonstrated this by washing his followers’ feet. At this service we will commemorate this when the Vicar will wash the feet of some members of the congregation. We will then do the other thing that Jesus did at the Last Supper by taking and sharing bread and wine as his body and blood as a reminder of him. Please join us for this solemn celebration. This year we are joined by the choir and congregation of St Mary’s, Harrow, for this service.
