The Offerings (2010) by Fr Fletcher
Christ's Humiliation and Love (2009) by Fr Austin

Collect:
Almighty Father, whose dear Son, on the night before he suffered, did institute the Sacrament of his Body and Blood: Mercifully grant that we may thankfully receive the same in remembrance of him who in these holy mysteries giveth us a pledge of life eternal, the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who now liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit ever, one God, world without end. Amen.
Maundy Thursday
This relatively austere Eucharist will be familiar to those who attend the 9am Eucharist on Sunday mornings. Its tone is reflective and penitential. If you find yourself in the neighborhood, please do come in, as it will help you enter into the wonder and truth of this most holy of weeks.
The service involves three sacred ministers, a small contingent of acolytes, and the Gentlemen of the Choir. All baptized Christians are invited to the altar rail to recieve the sacrament. Please download the leaflet for additional details.
