  • Maundy Thursday | A New Commandment — Love One Another | Holy Week 2026
    Apr 4 2026

    On the night before the cross, Jesus gathered with His disciples and gave them—and us — a new commandment: Love one another as I have loved you. This is the mark of a true disciple. On Maundy Thursday, we reflect on the kind of sacrificial, servant love that Jesus modeled and calls us to live out every single day. How will you love someone the way Jesus loves you?
