Local Churches Plan Holy Week Activities By Dayna M. Reidenouer
Conestoga United Methodist Church (UMC), 71 Sand Hill Road, Conestoga, will host a variety of events for Easter weekend, beginning with a Living Last Supper service on Maundy Thursday, April 18, at 7:30 p.m. Men from area churches - including Live With Purpose Church and the United Methodist congregations of Safe Harbor, Highville, Marticville, and Conestoga - will take part as the scene of Jesus and His disciples eating their final Passover meal together is portrayed. The Rev. Dr. Richard J. Rimert Jr., along with a second person, will read the script, which is based on Mark 14:12-26. According to Rimert’s wife, Diane, the disciples John and Peter will enter and prepare the table while the
Scripture is read. As the other disciples approach one by one, the script will describe each man and how he was called for ministry. Eventually, the men will share the elements of Communion, which will also be served to attendees. “Come hear about each disciple and their call to ministry with Christ. Come see as they share their meal together. Come taste the bread and the wine grape juice - as they did on that very special night,” Diane invited. The actor who portrays Jesus will preside over Communion, offering bread that will be dipped into grape juice in a process called intinction. Gluten-free wafers and juice will be available for those who need them. Diane said the goal of the Living Last Supper is to make a key part of the Easter story real to attendees.
