The Agape Meal
 
Members of both the local community and the parish gathered in the Parish Hall to celebrate the Agape Meal.  Agape, translated from Greek, means "love," and the Agape Meal gives the community an opportunity to gather in fellowship to share a meal and the love of Christ.  The evening began with a Eucharistic service led by Father Tracy and gave a homily about Christ's last days.  Included in the service is the washing of the hands symbolizing Christ's actions when he washed the feet of his Disciples. 



Following communion, the dinner was served featuring foods that we believe Christ enjoyed with his Disciples during the Last Supper.  The menu included lamb, grilled chicken, curried fruit, wild rice, peas, and unleavened bread.
   
I hope those that attended enjoyed this special dinner.  I also hope that those who were unable to come will consider making this meal apart of their Lenten tradition next year.
