The meal Jesus shares with his disciples the night before he dies celebrates Passover, a feast remembering Israel’s escape from slavery in Egypt and journey to freedom in the Promised Land. In the Christian tradition the Holy Thursday Eucharist we share celebrates Jesus’ gift of himself to us and his model of service in washing his friends’ feet.
The Spirit Freedom Supper offers a framework for an online prayer service with teens. Zoom and Hangouts offer ways for online groups to meet. Young people can take turns praying the prayers. To conclude, talk about how this night sheltering in place in 2020 is different than other nights and instead of blessing hands for service, invite prayers for family and friends who are sick, vulnerable, or on the front lines in health care.
