Maundy Thursday Service
April 2, 2026
7:00pm
​
It was on the Thursday of Jesus’s final week before being crucified and resurrected that He shared supper with his disciples for the last time. He not only instituted Communion there and then, He also started washing their feet. Jesus then said to His disciples: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another” (John 13:34). During this service, we will participate in washing of the feet and in communion, just as Jesus and the disciples did all those years ago.
Good Friday Service

During this service we will observe the anniversary of Jesus’ Crucifixion and Death. The Cross will be laid at the altar, and communion will be from the reserved sacrament. The Church will remain open after the service for those who would like to stay and pray.

WELCOMING YOU HOME
We are a faith community committed to the service and worship of our Lord Jesus Christ. As a vibrant and multigenerational community, we join God in his redemptive mission in the world. That redemption starts with us; we acknowledge that we need God’s love, strength, and forgiveness as we become the people God calls us to be.
We are a safe place for questions about God, because we believe that faith is formed over time and in community. Whether your faith is steadfast or searching, Grace is a home where you can bring your whole self—your doubts, your joys, your struggles—and find that you are not alone.
We are a local expression in Ocala of the Christian faith, with roots dating back to biblical history and the ancient church. We are part of the worldwide Anglican Communion, participating in the tradition, liturgy, history, and fellowship of other member churches all over the world.
ABOUT OUR CHURCH
In 1905, the entire original church building- with its Carpenter Gothic wood clapboard siding, spire, and arched windows and doors- was moved five blocks from its original location. Grace is more than an historic landmark in Ocala. It is a thriving community of eternal saints, joined across time and space like those old timbers.
SERVICES
Washed in the colors of a stained glass window, we raise our hands in worship. Sensing His love for us, our hearts practically burst in an intimate moment of gratitude. Our worship service is both ancient and modern: grounded in the words of scripture, patterned after the worship of the early church, and relevant for our lives today.
