Kern United Methodist Church Last Supper

Members of Kern United Methodist Church will perform a “Living Last Supper” in the church’s Family Life Center at 7 p.m. on Maundy Thursday, March 28. (Submitted photo)

On the eve of Jesus’ Crucifixion, Jesus and the twelve Apostles met in an Upper Room in Jerusalem to observe the Passover. At this meal, Jesus instituted the Lord’s Supper, a memorial observed by Christians to this day. As they ate together, Jesus announced that one of them would betray Him. Leonardo da Vinci sought to capture their reactions in his famous painting, “The Last Supper.”

Several members of Kern United Methodist Church will recreate this masterpiece on Maundy Thursday, March 28, in a dramatic interpretation of “The Living Last Supper” at 7 p.m. in the church’s Family Life Center. In addition to the drama, there will be several musical and dance selections. The service will conclude with Holy Communion and dismissal by prayer. [Read more…]
