AGÁPE SUPPER
OUR MAUNDY THURSDAY MEAL
Maundy Thursday, also known as Holy Thursday, commemorates the Last Supper when Jesus shared the Passover meal with his disciples on the night before he was crucified. Epiphany has a long-held tradition of celebrating this special day beginning with a simple and communal Agápe supper.

The cost of the fish is $8 per serving, $28 max for families. You can pay for your fish at the Supper, mail or drop off a check at the church or prepay online through Realm using the button below.

The deadline to order fish as past. However, you can still sign up for a spot at Table 12.
NOTE: You can toggle between the sign up table tabs once you are in Sign-up Genius.
The Agápe Menu
No recipes have come down to us from the time of Christ; however, knowing what raw materials were available to the Jews of Palestine in that period and what dishes were mentioned in the Bible, we have an idea of what Christians may have eaten at an Agápe (love) feast.
