Holy Thursday Reflections - CLC Iruthayapuram

Two of our beloved CLC members had the blessed opportunity to participate in the Maundy Thursday Washing of the Feet ceremony, humbly reflecting Christ's love and service.

Meanwhile, our entire CLC group gathered for a special communion service and prayer session at a separate location, joining spiritually with the wider church in commemorating the Last Supper and Jesus' ultimate act of love.

Let us continue walking this Holy Week journey with faith, humility, and unity in prayer.
