SUMMARY:Maundy Thursday Experience
DESCRIPTION:AN OBSERVANCE & EXPERIENCE OF MAUNDY THURSDAY \nBatavia First Presbyterian & St. James Episcopal Churches \nJoin us as we remember the night of the New Commandment of Jesus through three distinct movements of worship. \n\n THE Meal: Potluck Passover Supper | 5:30 PM We gather for a family-style meal featuring foods likely eaten by Jesus and his disciples:\n\n\nThe Table: Roasted lamb (or beef)\, Mediterranean salads\, beans\, carrots\, olives\, cheese\, dates\, fruits\, and nuts. Please bring a Mediterranean-inspired side dish or fruit to share.\nThe Liturgy: This meal includes the reading of Holy Scripture and the celebration of Holy Communion.\n\n  \n\n THE BETRAYAL: Gethsemane Prayer Garden We transition to St. Michael’s Chapel to enter the Garden. Through the reading of the Gospel\, we sit with Jesus in his final hours of prayer before his arrest. If you would like to add a plant to the garden\, please click here…\n\n  \nIII. THE SHADOWS: Stripping of the Altar We move finally to the nave to witness the Stripping of the Altar. This stark\, ancient tradition prepares our hearts and our space for the solemnity of Good Friday. \n  \nLocation: Hosted at St. James Episcopal Church \nAll are welcome.

SUMMARY:Music and Mystery
DESCRIPTION:Looking for a mid-week pick-me-up? Join us for an evening of informal music and creative fun with the talented Bart Dentino. This isn’t your average concert—it’s an interactive musical experience where you help set the setlist! \n\nHow it Works: \nBring your favorite song requests\, but don’t just shout them out! We’re adding a twist to keep things lively: \n\n· Act it Out: Channel your inner actor and give us a charade-style clue. \n· Sketch it Out: Grab a marker and draw your request on paper for the room to guess. \n\nOnce we figure out the tune\, Bart will bring it to life! Whether you’re a Pictionary pro or just want to sit back and enjoy the melodies\, it’s going to be a night filled with laughter\, community\, and great music.
