Holy Thursday Worship & Dinner

Come gather at the table as we remember the night Jesus shared a final meal with His disciples. Our service will include Holy Communion, a simple shared meal, and hand washing as a sign of Christ’s call to love and serve one another. Join us for this meaningful and intimate step into the heart of Holy Week.

ALL ARE WELCOME!

Location: Salem Mid-County Site
1200 S. Lindbergh Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63131
