Prepare a basin of water and/or wash cloth and towel and re-enact this loving, serving act of Jesus to his disciples (recounted in John 13). You can choose whether to wash your own hands or feet and/or do it for others who join you at home.
7pm Worship and Communion on Zoom
Prepare communion at home (wine & bread, juice & crackers, tea & scones, milk & cookies, whatever works for you). We will remember Jesus' last gathering with his disciples and share this holy meal in small groups, just as we do in our Sanctuary.

Good Friday Friday, April 2
7pm Tenebrae Worship on YouTube.
We commemorate the darkest night of the liturgical year, as we reflect on the seven last words of Jesus during his execution, with contemporary and historical images of the ways we travel these stations in everyday life. This is a powerful, moving, and provocative worship experience.

Prepare your own meal at home and sit down with us for a worship service of prayer, contemplation and song. Dinner church is a postmodern return to an ancient worship model, just like what the early Christians did in their own homes. Zoom info will be in your weekly newsletter. Contact Seminarian Katharine Henry at seminarian@upbrookline.org or Associate Pastor Amy Norton at amy@upbrookline.org.
The next prayer hike will be this Saturday, February 20, from 2-4pm. We will explore the Hammond Pond Reservation/Webster Woods in Newton: https://goo.gl/maps/j2BQkFjkDfKmXd6T9.
We will meet at the parking lot near the intersection of Boylston St. (Route 9) and Hammond Pond Parkway, near the Chestnut Hill mall (see map).
Bring your mask, water, journal/bible/pen if you desire, and hopefully a friend. We will be socially distanced and masked. Children and youth should be accompanied by parents or guardians.
