LOVE YOUR NEIGHBORS LAUNDRY COLLECTION

"Maundy" comes from the Latin mandatum and means Commandment. Maundy Thursday is a remembrance of the night before Good Friday, when Jesus celebrated the Last Supper with his friends and disciples. He told them that night that the greatest commandment is to "commandment to "love one another as I have loved you".

There are many ways to love our neighbors. One is supporting them in dignity and feeling like they belong, day to day. People struggling have said that being able to have clean laundry is one way to feel dignity and belonging. The Laundry Love effort makes that happen - right here in our local neighborhoods. This Maundy Thursday, the Peace & Justice Team is invites you to bring LAUNDRY SUPPLIES (detergent, drier sheets, or a roll of quarters) to support Laundry Love. Supplies can be brought into the Parish Hall any time on Maundy Thursday.
