Maundy Thursday Shadow Sketches

As part of a Service of Shadows for Maundy Thursday April 2, 2026, these sketches were drawn as each “shadow” of Christ’s final hours were read. I had a general idea before hand but for the most part each came together more or less spontaneously during the reading. I used a large flip chart in front of the congregation. As each candle was blown out, I flipped to a new page and once the reading began, started a new sketch. We then created a kind of gallery of the finished shadow sketches in the church.

CWNP  Good Friday

A meaningful day of reflection, rest, and time spent with the people who matter most. Whether shared around the table or enjoyed in quiet moments, Good Friday brings a gentle pause that reminds us of tradition, togetherness, and gratitude.
